Description
Dental drape is a sterile covering used in dentistry particularly important during invasive dental procedures that involve manipulation of oral tissues, such as extractions, surgeries, and implant placement.
Dental drapes are designed to prevent contamination of the surgical site and to ensure patient safety and comfort, a clean and infection-free environment around the oral cavity.
- Clear Plastic Film: The drape is usually made of a transparent or translucent plastic material that enables the dental team to visually monitor the procedure and maintain visibility of the treatment site.
- Adhesive Backing: The drape is equipped with an adhesive backing that adheres to the patient’s skin or around the oral area, ensuring that it stays securely in place throughout the dental procedure.
- Sterile Surface: Dental drapes are packaged in a sterile manner to maintain a sterile field during the dental procedure. They are opened and applied by the dental team using aseptic techniques.
- Patient Comfort: Dental drapes are designed to be comfortable for the patient while also providing effective barrier protection.
