Description
An ophthalmic drape with a “cum” fenestration (commonly referred to as a “with-cum” fenestrated ophthalmic drape) refers to an ophthalmic surgical drape that has multiple pre-cut openings or fenestrations.
Each fenestration is positioned over a specific area of the eye or surgical site, allowing access to different parts of the eye while maintaining a sterile field around each area.
These types of drapes are commonly used in complex ophthalmic procedures that require access to multiple sites within the eye or around the eye.
- The drape has more than one pre-cut hole or fenestration strategically positioned to align with different areas of the eye. These fenestrations allow the surgical team to work on different aspects of the eye without exposing non-sterile surfaces
- Similar to other ophthalmic drapes, a “cum” fenestrated drape is typically made of a transparent or translucent plastic material. This allows the surgical team to monitor the procedure and maintain visibility of each surgical site.
- The drape is equipped with adhesive backing to securely adhere to the patient’s skin or around the eye area, ensuring that the drape stays in place throughout the surgery.
- Some drapes may have absorbent features to manage excess fluids and maintain a dry surgical environment.
