Frequently asked questions
Is the fabric engineered to minimize particle contamination?
Yes, these drapes are constructed from high-performance SMS (spunbond-meltblown-spunbond) fabric. This three-layer process is specifically designed to be low-linting, which significantly minimizes particle generation to help maintain a clean surgical field.
Does this drape help manage fluids effectively?
Absolutely. It features proprietary Edgeguard technology, which serves as an absorbent reinforcement zone. This integrated design helps to effectively channel fluids away from the surgical site while keeping the drape securely in place.
Is the material safe for those with latex allergies?
Yes, the McKesson Sterile Impervious U-Drape is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for surgical teams and patients with latex sensitivities.
How does the color help during orthopedic surgery?
The drape is finished in a specialized dull blue color. This matte finish is intentional to mitigate glare from high-intensity operating room lights, helping to reduce eye strain for surgeons and improve visual contrast in the critical surgical zone.
Are these drapes suitable for professional orthopedic procedures?
Yes, these are specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of orthopedic surgical environments. The U-drape configuration allows for precise isolation of limbs, making it ideal for specialized orthopedic applications.
What is the total size of each drape?
Each drape provides ample coverage with dimensions measuring 60 inches wide by 81 inches long, which is approximately 5 feet by 6.75 feet.
How large is the split in the U-drape?
The split dimensions for the fenestration are 4 inches by 21 inches, designed to provide the necessary access for orthopedic limb surgeries while maintaining a sterile barrier.
Are these drapes sterile and ready for immediate use?
Yes, the drapes are provided sterile and are intended for single-use, disposable applications. This ensures that every procedure starts with a fresh, uncontaminated barrier.
Are there any specific safety precautions when using these?
While highly effective for sterile fields, users should follow standard surgical safety protocols: avoid contact with potential ignition sources and do not use these drapes in the presence of flammable anesthesia.
How many drapes are included in a purchase?
Each case contains 30 sterile drapes, ensuring a consistent supply for clinical and surgical environments.
