Description
An “Abdominal Drape” is a sterile covering used during surgical procedures that involve the abdomen.
It is designed to create a clean and controlled environment around the surgical site, minimizing the risk of contamination and infection.
- An Abdominal Drape is a sterile sheet or covering placed over the abdomen during surgery, maintaining a sterile field and preventing the transfer of microorganisms.</li
- The drape isolates the surgical area from non-sterile surfaces and equipment in the operating room, providing a barrier that helps prevent contamination.
- Abdominal Drapes are tailored to fit over the abdomen and may have fenestrations (openings) that allow access to the surgical site while keeping the surrounding area covered.
- By maintaining sterility and minimizing the risk of contamination, Abdominal Drapes contribute to infection control efforts, supporting better patient outcomes and safety.
