-
What are the three different types of drapes?
There are three main types of surgical drapes commonly used in medical settings: fenestrated drapes, non-fenestrated drapes, and specialty drapes. Fenestrated drapes have an opening that exposes the surgical site while covering surrounding areas, ensuring a sterile field. Non-fenestrated drapes are solid sheets used to cover equipment or areas not involved in the procedure. Specialty drapes are designed for specific surgeries, such as ophthalmic or orthopedic procedures, and often include adhesive edges or fluid collection pouches. These variations help maintain sterility and patient safety during operations.
-
How much do drapes usually cost?
The cost of surgical drapes can vary widely depending on material, size, and whether they are disposable or reusable. Basic disposable drapes may cost between $1 and $5 per piece, while high-quality, reinforced or specialty drapes can range from $10 to $50 each. Reusable drapes made from durable fabrics are more expensive upfront, often priced between $50 and $150, but they can be sterilized and used multiple times, reducing long-term costs. Bulk purchasing and supplier contracts can also influence pricing significantly.
-
What are drapes used for?
Drapes are primarily used to create a sterile barrier between the surgical site and surrounding areas, reducing the risk of infection. They cover the patient and equipment, isolating the operative field from contaminants. In addition to infection control, drapes help manage fluids during surgery by absorbing or channeling them away from the site. They also provide a clear visual boundary for surgeons and staff, improving workflow and safety. Drapes are essential in maintaining aseptic conditions in operating rooms.
-
What are standard drape sizes?
Standard surgical drape sizes vary based on their intended use, but common dimensions include small drapes around 18 x 26 inches for minor procedures and larger sheets up to 70 x 90 inches for full-body coverage. Fenestrated drapes often feature a central opening sized for the surgical site, while specialty drapes may include extra panels or adhesive zones. Some sets combine multiple sizes to accommodate different parts of the body and equipment. These standardized dimensions ensure compatibility with various surgical setups and patient positions.
