Abstract:
A disposable surgical drape is provided for use while performing surgical procedures on an eye of a patient, or other surgical procedures. There is an operative, surgical aperture formed through a base sheet for being located proximal to a first eye, or other surgical site, of the patient. An attachment zone is formed on the base sheet, proximal to the surgical aperture, and at least partially surrounds the surgical aperture. In one form, a guide extends across the surgical aperture on the upper surface of the base sheet. In another form, the base sheet has a non-surgical aperture spaced from the surgical aperture for being located proximal to a second eye of the patient. The disposable surgical drape can be provided in a folded form to facilitate placement on a patient and subsequent unfolding and spreading of the drape. In this embodiment, the drape includes a minimally-adhesive film that defines the surgical aperture.

Claim (Index 13):
A folded disposable surgical drape, comprising:\n a rectangular base sheet of thin, flexible material, said base sheet having an upper surface, a lower surface for contacting a patient, and at least one edge; and an attachment zone on said base sheet lower surface, said attachment zone being configured for attaching said base sheet lower surface to a surgical site of the patient; said attachment zone being positioned intermediate of a first pair of marginal portions of said drape, and a second pair of marginal portions of said drape, wherein each of said marginal portions includes at least one fold, to facilitate placement of said folded drape on a patient with said attachment zone affixed to the surgical site of the patient so that said first and second pairs of marginal portions can be unfolded to spread said drape to cover the patient.
