  • Adhesive Fenestration: The drape has a pre-cut hole or fenestration that is precisely positioned over the eye area. This allows access to the surgical site while keeping the surrounding area covered.
  • Clear Plastic Film: The drape is usually made of a transparent or translucent plastic material that allows the surgical team to monitor the procedure and maintain visibility of the eye.
  • Adhesive Backing: The drape is equipped with an adhesive backing that adheres to the patient’s skin or around the eye area, ensuring that it stays securely in place throughout the surgery.
  • Absorbent Material: Some eye drapes may have absorbent features to manage excess fluids and maintain a dry surgical environment.
