Abstract

A surgical drape system is provided including a drape component and a pouch component. The drape component has a main sheet portion and may have a fenestration for providing access to an operative site on a patient. The pouch component may be created from a rear panel and a front panel superimposed and partially sealed one to the other to provide a pouch having an open top and partially open sides. The rear panel is attached to the drape in proximity to the fenestration and holds the pouch in place on the drape. A number of spaced apart fasteners are disposed upon at least one of the panels proximate to the open top. The fasteners are for fastening sections of the front and rear panel to one another thus establishing alternating fastened and unfastened regions in the open top.
