Frequently asked questions
Is the material robust enough for heavy instruments?
Yes, the drape is engineered with a heavy-duty SMS reinforcement layer (33 gsm). This design specifically resists tears and punctures, providing the structural integrity needed to support the weight of heavy surgical instruments safely.
Does this drape provide a reliable fluid barrier?
Absolutely. It features an impervious PE film (50 gsm) backing. This high-performance layer is designed to effectively prevent fluid strike-through, ensuring the table surface remains protected and the sterile field is maintained.
Is the fabric prone to linting during use?
No, the drape is manufactured to high standards, including ISO 9073-10-2003 certification for lint-resistance. This minimizes the risk of foreign body contamination or bacterial transmission in the sterile environment.
Is this product safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, the McKesson Back Table Drape is 100% latex-free. It is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for surgical settings where latex sensitivity is a concern.
How easy is the drape to set up aseptically?
The drape is designed for clinical efficiency, featuring a fan-folded configuration. This allows for smooth, intuitive unfolding and placement, helping staff maintain strict aseptic techniques during setup.
Does the material meet professional flammability standards?
Yes, this product is tested and compliant with 16 CFR Part 1615, which sets the standards for flammability resistance in medical textiles, ensuring it meets safety requirements for operating room environments.
Is the fabric durable against surface abrasion?
The drape is built for high-performance use and is tested to ISO 12945-2 standards for abrasion resistance. This ensures the material remains intact and functional even when subjected to the demands of a busy surgical table.
Is this drape meant for multiple uses?
No, this is a single-use, sterile product. It is designed to be disposed of after each procedure to ensure maximum hygiene, safety, and the integrity of your sterile field.
What is the primary function of the SMS construction?
The SMS (Spunbond-Meltblown-Spunbond) fabric is chosen for its superior balance of strength and protection. It provides:
- Durability: High breaking strength (ASTM D5034-2009).
- Protection: Acts as a reliable barrier against contaminants.
- Security: Maintains physical integrity under the weight of tools.
Are there clear instructions for positioning?
Yes, the drapes include clear instructional stamps printed on them. These are designed to guide medical personnel during the placement process, reducing the risk of errors and facilitating a faster, more accurate setup.
