  • Publication number: 20070175487
    Abstract: Improved disposable surgical drapes and surgical methods for isolating the surgical field from the patient's penile and scrotal skin to prevent any contact of implantable medical device components, the surgical instruments, and the surgeon's gloved hand with the patient's skin during a device implantation or a surgical procedure are disclosed. A surgical drape comprises a sheet of drape material bounded by sheet edges adapted to lie over the patient's skin and an elongated penile sheath extending from a sheath attached end extending from the sheet to a sheath free end. The sheath may be grasped during implantation surgery to manipulate the penis without making direct contact with the penile skin. The surgical drape further comprises a scrotal skin contact portion adjacent the sheath attached end of a material capable of being penetrated in making an incision of the scrotal skin, whereby contact with the scrotal skin is avoided.
