Drape removes need to lift a patient once on the operating table

摘要

A surgical drape for protecting a patient and portions of an operating table has been developed by US inventors. According to John Corbitt of Atlantis, Florida, and Albert Santilli of Pepper Pike, Ohio, the invention minimizes or eliminates difficulties in placing drapes under a patient while isolating the surgical field in a sterile manner. Further, the drape is said to be easy to use and permits the surgical procedure to be performed with minimal delay.
