AJP Surgical Drape 40*60

In surgery, after preparing the surgical site and covering the patient with surgical drapes, a part of the surgical site that is disinfected and located between the drapes remains open for a surgical incision. It is better to cover this part to prevent the transfer of bacteria from the surface of the skin to the surgical site. For this reason, Incisional sterile drape or Surgical Incise Drape are produced in different sizes. One of the sizes used to cover these areas is surgical drape 40*60 cm, which we will introduce bellow.

What is Surgical Incise Drape 40*60?

Sterile or surgical incise drape is a barrier to cover the open part of the surgical site (between the cloth drapes). This product made of transparent film of polyurethane or other transparent polymers that sticks to the skin and prevents the transfer of bacteria and contamination from the skin to the surgical incision site.

These drapes must have high cohesion, flexibility and proper strength. These should also be compatible with the skin and cover the skin of the operation area completely up to the drapes. On the other hand, the use of betadine helps control more pollution.

Uses of surgical drape

The main use of a surgical drape such as surgical drape 40*60 is to prevent the transfer of microorganisms from the surrounding skin to the surgical site and to maintain an ideal and sterile environment even in long-term surgery.

Application of surgical drape

Since a part of the skin between the surgical drapes in all surgeries is stay out without cover, the Surgical Incise Drape can be used for all surgeries:

• General surgery such as Appendix and gallbladder removal
• Gynecological surgery such as cesarean section, hysterectomy, and etc
• Orthopedic surgery such as fracture repair, joint replacement, and etc
• Open heart surgery and vascular surgery
• Neurosurgery
• Eye surgeries
• Plastic surgery
• Chest surgery
• Spine surgery, laparoscopy, laser, and etc

How to use sterile drapes?

• First, the drape (covering the patient’s operation site with sterile cloths) is completely done, the drapes are fixed, and then the specified surgical incision site of the operation area skin remains open.
• The sterile drape pack, which is sterile, is opened on the surgical table and given to the surgical team.
• From the surgical team, one person takes the free edges of the sterile drape such as surgical drape 40*60 (usually colored and without glue), that has been installed for this purpose.
• Then the second person takes the paper (under it) and brings film closer to the incision site.
• The colored edges are placed on the drapes and near the surgical site. Then the second person slowly separates the paper so that the sticky part sticks first on the drape edge and then on the skin.
• Separating the paper and gluing the cover continues until the end, until the adhesive part covers the entire surface of the skin.
• At the end, the hand is stretched over the film and the skin, so that it can be corrected if there is air in it or it is not attached.

Surgical sterile drape removal

At the end of the surgery, before dressing the incision site, the surgeon separate the edges of the drape from the incision site towards the drapes and pushed aside so that the area is available for disinfection and dressing.

After the final dressing, the the incision film and all of drapes will be removed from the patient.
