    Patent number: 7086404
    Abstract: A surgical drape for covering a patient during a surgical procedure is provided. The drape has a base sheet having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a plurality of edges. A fenestration is formed in the base sheet positionable over the surgical site. A reinforcement panel having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a periphery is also provided.

  • Nonwoven filled film laminate with barrier properties
    Patent number: 6764566
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of manufacturing a single-use, disposable absorbent laminate containing one or more layers of hydrophilic meltspun material bonded to a breathable film. The meltspun fabric layer may include at least one spunbonded fabric, meltblown fabric or other nonwoven fabric that is made hydrophilic prior to bonding to the film. The filaments or microfibers of the spunbonded or meltblown fabrics may contain a hydrophilic additive in or on the filaments or microfibers.
