Abstract: Disclosed herein is an incise system for surgical drapes and the resultant surgical drape. The incise system is a two layer structure including a first layer of incise with an adhesive bottom surface for adhering the layer to a surgical drape and/or the skin of a patient. The first layer of incise further defines a fenestrated area removably attached to the remainder of the first layer by a line of perforations. The second layer of incise is generally coextensive with and releasably attachable to the first layer of incise so as to cover the fenestrated area of the river layer.To use the incise system of the present invention the two layer structure is applied to the patient's skin such that the fenestrated area of the first layer of incise directly overlies the intended incision area. An incision can then be made directly through the two layers of incise. Once the procedure is completed, the top (second) layer of incise is peeled from the bottom (first) layer.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a surgical drape with an external extremity pouch for use in conjunction with limb surgery. Drapes used in such surgery are typically of sufficient size to completely cover the patient and extend down over the sides of the operating table. Such drapes are further provided with a fenestration to permit the extension of the limb through the drape from the underside to the external surface of the drape. The drape of the present invention has an extremity pouch attached to the external surface of the drape on the portion which hangs over the side of the operating table. The pouch is adapted to receive and isolate an exposed limb such as a leg or arm should it become necessary to extend the limb over the side of an operating table during a surgical procedure.

Abstract: A fenestrated surgical drape is disclosed which has a fluid collection pouch pivotally attached about the fenestration so that the pouch may selectively attached to either side of the fenestration. As a result, the same surgical drape may be used for either right- or left-handed procedures.

Abstract: A generally pouch-like conformable face mask especially suitable for surgical use. The face mask includes a generally rectangular body portion formed from a filtration medium and having top and bottom edge portions and a pair of opposed side portions. To provide the face conforming features and a substantially gas-tight seal between the mask and the face of the wearer, an elastically extendable material is located at the periphery of the side and bottom edge portions of the generally rectangular body portion, mask to gather into a pouch or cup-like configuration. This permits the wearer to don the face mask by engaging the pouch-like portion with the chin fitting within the pouch while the body portion covers the mouth and nose of the wearer.
