  • Patent number: 4570628
    Abstract: A surgical drape composed of a main sheet of sheet material adapted for use by a patient in the lithotomy position. The surgical drape is fabricated from a main sheet of sheet material which is constructed of sufficient softness and is sufficiently inexpensive to be disposable. The main sheet is formed of a torso section and a bottom section which are interconnected by a pair of side sections. Each side is formed into an enclosed area so as to function as a legging for the patient. The main sheet includes a fenestration centrally located therein with a fenestration strengthening material located entirely about said fenestration. The fenestration strengthening material is to resist tearing and cutting. A layer of non-liquid absorbing protective material is attached to the fenestration strengthening material. A collection container in the form of a flexible walled bag is located adjacent the bottom section.
