Abstract
An arthroscopy drape is provided that has an open top collection pouch connected therewith. The pouch is connected adjacent to a fenestration or opening in the drape through which a patient's limb will extend for an arthroscopy procedure. Connection of the collection pouch to the drapery panel is provided over a relatively small area whereby articulation of the joint on which the procedure is being performed will have little if any effect on the position of the drapery panel relative to the patient and operating equipment covered thereby, thus maintaining the sterile condition of the operating room.
