Abstract: A drape for use in surgical procedures including a sterile sheet, a generally diamond-shaped opening in the sheet, and a slot extending from a corner of the opening to an edge of the sheet. The sheet is constructed of a disposable non-woven cellulosic material and the opening and the slot have folded edges formed by reversely folded portions of the material. A reinforcing sheet having a matching diamond-shaped opening and a matching slot can be secured to the main sheet in superimposed relation. The main sheet and the reinforcing sheet have respective openings and slots in direct alignment to define a fenestrated surgical drape having a pair of split end portions.

Abstract: A double-fenestrated surgical drape, especially suitable for use in those operations requiring entry through both the abdominal wall and the perineum, comprising a pair of rectangular non-woven cellulosic sheets of unequal size joined together in overlapping relation to provide a narrow reinforced zone of increased thickness interposed between the fenestrations of the respective sheets.
