  • Patent number: 12611278
    Abstract: A system and method for attaching a sterile drape to a C-arm of a radiography imaging system includes at least one drape secured to a surface of the C-arm of the radiography system, the at least one drape including a substrate, an attachment strip disposed on the substrate, and a release liner removably attached to the attachment strip opposite the substrate. The substrate includes indica thereon in the form of attachment instructions for the placement of the attachment strip in the proper location on the C-arm. The release liner is removed from the attachment strip and the attachment strip is placed or positioned on the C-arm where indicated by the indicia for properly and quickly attaching the drape to the C-arm. The indica can be located on the release liner, or on the substrate such as on an instruction liner attached to the substrate opposite the attachment strip, or directly on the substrate.
