Abstract
The invention herein provides an integrated drape for use in surgical procedures involving anatomical extremities and having a unitary assembled structure, said drape comprising: a flexible panel sheet portion having first and second opposing sides and having a fenestration located therethrough; and a flexible elongate sleeve portion having an open proximal end; wherein the open proximal end of said sleeve is integrally attached to the panel sheet and circumscribes the fenestration. The drape readily accommodates various anatomical extremities, permits the creation of a surgical access site at any location for a given extremity, and is presented to the user as a single, one-piece construction reducing or eliminating the need for obtaining and setting up supplemental drapes for a procedure.
