Description
“Side drape” is sterile covering on the sides of the patient’s body during a surgical procedure.
Helps maintain a sterile field by isolating the surgical site from non-sterile surfaces and equipment in the operating room. Side draping ensures that the area being operated on remains uncontaminated, reducing the risk of infection and promoting patient safety.
- Side draping uses sterile sheets to create a barrier, safeguarding the surgical area from contamination.
- The drapes permit surgical access while isolating the site, thanks to adhesive edges or openings.
- By maintaining sterility, side draping helps prevent infections during surgical procedures.
