  • STERILE DRAPE WITH ELASTICIZED BODY PORTION FOR PROTECTING A C-ARM IMAGING MACHINE
    Publication number: 20220280127
    Abstract: A sterile drape can be used to cover a C-arm imaging machine used during a medical procedure. In some configurations, the drape includes a detector body cover, a C-arm body cover, and an elastic banding. The detector body cover can be positioned around a detector of the imaging machine. The C-arm body cover can include a tunnel portion that is positioned to surround a portion of the C-arm extending away from the detector. The elastic banding can extend about a perimeter of a junction between the detector body cover and the C-arm body cover. The elastic banding can provide a biasing force that draws the junction between the detector body cover and the C-arm body cover closed.
