Description
An adhesive aperture (fenestrated) surgical drape is a single-use barrier drape featuring a pre-cut opening surrounded by an integrated adhesive border. When applied to prepped skin, the adhesive forms a dependable seal that helps establish and maintain a sterile field, isolates the operative site, and reduces contamination and fluid ingress during procedures. The conformable construction allows smooth draping over varied body contours while supporting efficient workflow.
