Abstract
A surgical drape for covering a patient during a surgical procedure is provided. The drape has a base sheet having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a plurality of edges. A fenestration is formed in the base sheet positionable over the surgical site. A reinforcement panel having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a periphery is also provided. The lower surface of the reinforcement panel has a pressure sensitive adhesive applied thereto. The panel is adjustably manipulated and adhered by the pressure sensitive adhesive so as to occlude a portion of the fenestration in the base sheet at the time of the surgical procedure.
