Description

The RD PRO Eye Drape, also known as Raucodrape PRO Eye Drape, is a specialized surgical drape designed for ophthalmic procedures. Its innovative design allows for rapid and efficient draping, enabling a surgeon or scrub nurse to fully drape a patient in seconds. This drape is versatile, fitting surgeries on either eye, and can be easily positioned and unfolded by a single person.

Key Features

• Sterility Options: Available in both sterile and non-sterile versions, catering to different surgical needs.
• Layer Variants: Comes in 2-layered and 3-layered options, providing flexibility in choice.
• Material Composition: Constructed from a double-layered, moisture-proof material combining PP fleece and PE foil, and is free from natural rubber latex.

Adhesive and Fenestration

The drape features a self-adhesive cutout, or fenestration, for secure placement. The adhesive is designed to minimize stickiness, reducing discomfort or pulling of eyelashes upon removal. Fenestration options include central or off-centre placements, typically measuring 7 x 10 cm, with shapes available in oval or rectangular.

Advanced Features

Certain models include an integrated fluid collection pouch, enhancing fluid management. The material is moisture-proof and fluid-repellent, ensuring a clean surgical field. Select models also feature a flexible nose bridge for patient comfort during local anaesthesia, and an integrated incise film with or without an aperture.

Additional Windows

The drape includes a second window to cover the non-operative eye, which can be opened for patient comfort or to assist in fixing the operative eye. Its user-friendly folding and 3-part adhesive strip allow for simple application and removal, all packaged in a closable dispenser box.

Packaging and Documentation

Each sterile package includes two self-adhesive documentation labels. The drape provides safe protection against bacterial penetration, exceeding DIN EN 13795 standards. It is absorbent across the entire surface, suitable for operations with normal to medium fluid amounts, and is tear-resistant.

Patient Comfort and Efficiency

Designed to minimize patient discomfort and anxiety, the drape helps maintain a clean surgical field by enclosing eyelashes and blocking meibomian secretion, reducing the risk of endophthalmitis. It is as cost-effective as conventional drapes, yet easier to place and remove, enhancing surgical efficiency and patient comfort.

Size and Variant Options

• Sterile, 2-layered: 80 x 80 cm
• Sterile, 3-layered: 150 x 150 cm
• Non-sterile, 2-layered: Various sizes including 120 x 150 cm and 50 x 50 cm
• Non-sterile, 3-layered: Sizes such as 150 x 160 cm and 120 x 160 cm

Intended Use

Ideal for major eye surgeries, cataract procedures, and squint corrections. The RD PRO Eye Drape can be included in procedure packs to support operating theatre efficiency, consistently exceeding the requirements for surgical drapes.
