Abstract
A reusable fabric surgical drape such as a cardiovascular drape, for example, having a fenestration to be positioned at a surgical site and one or more slits formed in the drape. Each slit has overlapping edges which are releasably attachable together. The surgical drape may have one such slit extending from the fenestration to an edge of the drape, which, when opened, enables removal of the drape from the patient about any surgical equipment attached to the patient through the fenestration. One or more additional such slits may be formed in the drape and so positioned and shaped as to provide, when opened, reclosable surgical site fenestrations.
