Abstract
A surgical cover has a second absorbent region which is overlapped by a fluid absorbent and fluid permeable material section having outer edges and adjoining edge regions. The surgical cover as such extends in a longitudinal direction LR between an upper end and a lower end. The absorbent material section is undetachably fixed across the entire circumference on the upper side of the base cover material of the surgical cover and is substantially not connected to the base cover material outside of the edge regions such that a pocket is formed between the absorbent material section and the fluid impermeable base cover material. At least one of the edge regions of the absorbent material section has a fluid barrier formed by a joining element which undetachably fixes the material section to the upper side of the base cover material.
