Description
Overview
The Multigate Protex 4 Foot & Ankle Surgical Drape is a sterile, single-use drape designed for orthopaedic foot and ankle procedures. It may also be used to establish a sterile field for minor procedures. The configuration supports limb isolation and fluid control, combining targeted access with enhanced reinforcement in the operative zone.
Construction and barrier performance
- Protex 4 bi‑laminate construction: absorbent top layer with impervious backing to provide a microbial barrier and help prevent fluid strikethrough.
- Ultra‑reinforcement in the operative zone for added durability and fluid management.
- Low linting materials support aseptic technique.
- Latex‑free.
Dimensions and configuration
- Overall size: 247 cm x 350 cm; blue.
- Round elastomeric aperture, 6 cm diameter, with reinforcement for secure conformity around the limb.
- Ultra‑reinforcement panel: 75 cm x 180 cm positioned around the operative area for strength and absorption.
- Integrated tube holder/fastener to organize suction and lines.
Handling characteristics
- Impervious backing with high absorption capacity and fast uptake to manage blood and irrigation fluids.
- Soft, pliable fabric for easy positioning and patient comfort.
- Strong and durable to resist tears during draping and intraoperative adjustments.
- Low linting to help minimize particulate contamination.
Intended use and applications
