Conclusion

The goal of the Surgical Assist Drape is to create a barrier between the patient and the surgeon/anesthesiologist so that the procedure can be performed without the need for the surgeon/anesthesiologist to scrub in, thus keeping the area free from contamination. 

The Surgical Assist Drape we designed is made of:

  • a clear film and non-woven polyester 
  • antimicrobial chemicals 
  • biocidal additives

The packaging of the drape includes:

  • Two vertical plastic poles to hold up the drape
  • Additional adhesive strips
  • Attachable absorbent pads
  • Additional clear film
