Abstract
An improved method of fabricating disposable coverings such as surgeon's caps comprises applying elastic strips and adhesive along opposed edges of two lengths of sheet material, folding and securing the edges over the elastic strips, applying spaced elastic strips and adhesive along and straddling the center line of one of the lengths of sheet material, bringing the sheets together and securing them along their center lines with the applied adhesive, cutting the sheets apart along their center lines to produce two sub-lengths of material, and cutting and heat sealing the sub-lengths at spaced intervals across their lengths to produce disposable surgeon's caps. The invention also contemplates a disposable protective covering fabricated by this method.
