Description

An adhesive aperture surgical drape is a single-use draping solution designed to establish and maintain a sterile field around a defined incision site. It features an integrated adhesive zone surrounding the opening to help secure the drape to the patient’s skin, minimize edge lift, and limit fluid ingress at the operative area.

Key features

• Integrated adhesive aperture for a close seal at the incision site.
• Single-use format; commonly supplied sterile for aseptic presentation (non-sterile options may also exist).
• Fluid-resistant barrier that conforms to body contours for effective coverage.
• Low-linting design to help reduce particle release in the operative field.
• Material options include nonwoven substrates with or without film lamination; film-only variants are also used.
• Available in multiple aperture sizes and shapes; some versions incorporate a transparent incise film at the opening.
• Optional enhancements may include reinforcement zones, split configurations, or integrated pouches for fluid collection.
• Individually packaged to support aseptic handling.

Typical applications

• General surgery and specialties such as orthopedic, gynecological, and urological procedures where a secure seal around a defined incision site is required.

Use considerations

• Select aperture size and shape appropriate to the procedure and anatomy.
• Apply to clean, dry skin and smooth outward to optimize adhesion.
• Check pack integrity before opening and discard after single use.
