Definitions

  • a corner of the legging at the cuffed open end thereof is folded forward to define a left hand receiving pocket and a right hand receiving pocket.
  • These pockets are present on the outer surface of the folded legging but are on opposite sides of the drape when the drape is in its position on a patient.
  • the bottom of the drape is folded upward a number of times to form a series of folds and provide a compactly folded drape and the upper edge of each of these folds is tucked under the cuff so that when a nurse inserts her hands in the hand receiving pockets, she will also grasp the top edges of these folds and will thus be better able to manipulate the drape during its application.
  • This invention relates to surgical drapes and, more particularly, to surgical drapes designed for the draping of legs and the like and the manner of folding the same to avoid contamination during handling.
  • a uniquely folded surgical drape suitable for draping arms, legs or surgical equipment, such as Mayo stands or the like which may be easily and rapidly applied to the patient by one nurse with little risk of contamination of the patient, nurse or drape.
  • these folded drapes comprise a back cover sheet and a front cover sheet overlying and superimposed upon the back cover sheet.
  • the front cover sheet and the back cover sheet are secured together along at least one side and an edge of the back cover sheet and an edge of the front cover sheet define an open end of the drape.
  • a front cuff is joined to and extends across the outer face of the front cover sheet in proximate relation to the open end of the drape and a back cuff is joined to and extends across the outer face of the back cover sheet in proximate relation to the open end of the drape. Both of these cuffs open away from the open end of the drape.
  • a portion of the front cover sheet and front cuff and of the back cover sheet and back cuff is folded essentially congruently, forward, either diagonally or longitudinally, to define a flap-like fold overlying a portion of the outer face of the front cover sheet and only a portion of the front cuff.
  • the overlying portion of the back cuff and the back cover sheet constitute the outer face of the flaplike fold.
  • a folded unit is thus provided in which the back cover sheet and back cuff and front cover sheet and front cuff and the fold line formed by the forward, essentially congruent fold cooperate to define a left hand receiving pocket and grasping area and a right hand receiving pocket and grasping area on an outer surface of the folded surgical drape.
  • the nurse may position her hands in the receiving pockets and grasp the area of the surgical drape within the pocket underlying the cuff.
  • the surgical drape is easily opened, and when the drape is in its normal open position, the left hand and right hand of the nurse will be on opposing sides of the drape under a cuif in position to drape the extremity.
  • the hand receiving pockets which served to initially position the hands and which existed by virtue of the forward, essentially congruent fold, no longer exist and the hands may, therefore, be shifted beneath the cuff to any desired position.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic representation in perspective of a cuffed, stocking-like surgical drape
  • FIG. 2 is a cross section of the surgical drape illustrated in FIG. 1 taken along line 22;
  • FIG. 3 is a cross section of the surgical drape illustrated in FIG. 1 taken along line 3-3;
  • FIG. 4 is a cross section of the surgical drape illustrated in FIG. 1 taken along line 4-4;
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the first step in folding the drape of FIG. 1
  • FIG. 7 which is of the reverse side of the drape as folded in FIG. 6, illustrates the final step of folding the drape of FIG. 1 and the initial positioning of the nurses hands just prior to opening;
  • FIG. 9 illustrates a different manner of folding the surgical drape of FIG. 1;
  • FIGS. 10, 11 and 12 illustrate three progressive steps in obtaining a further fold in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 13 illustrates a nurse properly grasping the various folds of the drape illustrated in FIG. 12 in preparation for applying the drape to the patient;
  • FIGS. 14, 15 and 16 illustrate the application of a drape folded in the manner illustrated in FIGS. 10 through 12 to the leg of a patient.
  • a surgical drape 1 suitable for draping arms, legs or a variety of surgical tables and stands, such as Mayo stands or the like, comprises a back cover sheet 3 and a front cover sheet 2 overlying and superimposed upon the back cover sheet 3.
  • the front cover sheet and the back cover sheet are secured together along left side 14 and right side 13, and edge 6 of the back cover sheet and edge 7 of the front cover sheet define open end 4 of the drape.
  • a front cuff 9 is joined to and extends across the outer face of the front cover sheet 3 in proximate relation to open end 4 of the drape.
  • a back cuff 8 is joined to and extends across the outer face of the back cover sheet 3 in proximate relation to open end 4 of the drape. Both of these cuffs open away from the open end of the drape.
  • the front cuff and back cuff preferably extend essentially transversely across substantially the entire width of the front cover sheet and back cover sheet respectively.
  • the cuffed drape should be folded upward upon itself to form a plurality of folds and thus provide a compact unit. Any number of these folds of any size may be formed. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIGS. 5 and 6, the surgical drape 1 is folded approximately in half upward upon itself along transverse fold line F thus forming the two folds 20 substantially equal in size. The folded unit shown in FIG. 5 is again folded approxi mately in half upward upon itself along transverse fold line F to form the folds 21 and folds 21' substantially equal in size underlying back cuff 8.
  • a portion of the front cuff and front cover sheet and of the back cuff and back cover sheet are folded forward, essentially congruently, along diagonal fold line P so as to form a flap-like fold 22 overlying a portion of the front cover sheet and only a portion of the front cuff.
  • the portion of the back cuff and "back cover sheet thus constitute a portion of the outer face of the flap-like fold.
  • the front cover sheet 2 and front cuff 9 and the back cover sheet 3 and back cuff 8 and essentially congruent fold line F cooperate to define left hand receiving pocket 23 and left hand grasping area 23 and right hand receiving pocket 24 and right hand grasping area 24' on the outer surface of the folded unit.
  • Fold line F defines a side of both the left hand pocket and right hand pocket.
  • Top edge 6 and top edge 7 form a second side of the left hand and right hand pockets respectively, and right cuff side edge 11 defines a third side of the right hand receiving pocket.
  • the inventive concept is equally well satisfied by the diagonal folding forwardof a portion of the upper left corner of the surgical drape.
  • One or the other form may be desired by an individual nurse or operating room attendant.
  • a particularly neat and compact folded unit is formed in the case of the rectangular drape illustrated when the diagonal fold line F is disposed at a angle to vertical.
  • the nurse may insert her hands into the right hand receiving pocket and left hand receiving pocket as illustrated in FIG. 7 and grasp a portion of the front cover sheet and back cover sheet, respectively, which underlies the cuff within the pockets as shown in FIG. 8.
  • the front cover sheet is separated from the back cover sheet at the end 4 of the drape.
  • the hand receiving pockets which existed by virtue of the congruent diagonal fold and which served to orient the nurses hands, no longer exist and the hands may be freely shifted to another position beneath the cuff if, for some reason, this is desired.
  • This method of properly orienting the hands and opening the drape is relatively efficient and eliminates the need for the nurse to search through the folded drape to find the proper hand grasping areas.
  • the front cuff, 9, is detached from the back cuff, 8, and from the front cover sheet, 3, along a substantial portion of a cuff side edge, 10, which would, if the cuff were at tached, define a side of one of the pockets
  • a marginal side portion of the front cuff and the front cover sheet is preferably folded backward, along fold line F shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, so as to form a fold, 25, underlying the front cover sheet, 3, and so that the fold line, F defines a side edge, 100, of one of the pockets.
  • Such a fold is preferable whenever a side edge of one of the pockets would otherwise be open.
  • a marginal side portion of the fiap-like fold may be folded so as to underly itself and to thus form a fold line which defines a side of the pocket.
  • FIG. 9 A second embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIG. 9, wherein a marginal portion of the front cover sheet 2 and front cuff 9 and of back cover sheet 3 and back cuff 58 is folded forward along a longitudinal fold line, 1 also shown in FIG. 1, to form the overlying flap-like fold 22A; and the drape then folded transversely upward upon itself as previously described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • the folds and cuffs thus cooperate to define a left hand receiving pocket 24A and grasping area 24A and right hand receiving pocket 23A and grasping area 23A.
  • the particular drape illustrated in the drawings is a stocking-like surgical drape by which it is meant that it is fabricated to form a closed outer surface at some point along the length of the drape. Because of the closed surface, the member to be draped must be passed into the drape rather than merely covered. While the invention is particularly useful in conjunction with stockinglike drapes, the inventive concept is not limited thereto.
  • the drape 1 may be of any shape or size, and drapes of the type illustrated can, for example, be conveniently formed from a single sheet of material by folding the sheet in half upon itself to form right side edge 13, and sealing the side edges of the sheet of material together to form left side edge 14 and thus form a stocking-like drape. The bottom edges of the drape can then suitably 'be sealed together to form a closed bottom end, 5.
  • the drape may be passed over the body member or piece of equipment by virtue of the open end, 4, of the stocking. While the other end, 5, may be closed as described above to provide a member enveloping drape, this end is suitably open when surgery is to be performed on the hand or the foot or when otherwise desirable.
  • slits may be provided at some point in the surgical drape in anticipation of an incision being made at that point.
  • a slit 12 is provided along the upper portion of left side edge 14- in the particular embodiment illustrated in order to facilitate the draping of the patient.
  • the cuffs may be any shape or depth. While they need not be immediately adjacent to an open end of the drape as illustrated, they should be reasonably proximate thereto so that an open end of the drape may be properly guided into place by the nurse. These cuffs may, of course, constitute a separate panel of material joined to the cover sheet at suitable points by gluing or other appropriate means.
  • the front cuff and the back cuff may be, but need not be, joined either to each other or the front cover sheet or the back cover sheet, respectively, at points along cuff side edges and 11.
  • the cuffs may be conveniently formed by folding a top portion of the sheet downward upon itself.
  • the front cuff 9 is joined to the front cover sheet 2 byvirtue of the folded top edge 7, and the back cuff 8 is joined to the back cover sheet 3 by virtue of the folded top edge 6.
  • the front cuff is joined to the back cuff along right cuff side edge 11, but the front and back cuff are detached from each other and from the cover sheets along left cuff side edge 10 by virtue of the slit 12.
  • FIG. 13 where the nurse is shown grasping the back cover sheet 3 between her 3rd and 4th fingers at point 42 and grasping the top edge 40 of fold 21' between her 1st and 2nd fingers and top edge 41 of fold 21 between her thumb and 1st finger.
  • the left hand of the nurse is grasping the portion of the front cover sheet in the manner illustrated in FIG. 9.
  • the nurse is now prepared to begin the draping procedure.
  • the nurse may release her grip on the top edge 41 of the outermost fold 21, but retain her grip on the top edge 40 of the adjacent fold 21'. This increases the effective length of the drape, and the leg may be passed deeper into the stocking. Since the releasing of the fold is more .or less simultaneous with the passing of the leg deeper into the. drape, the top edge 41 of the released fold 21 will not fall into a nonsterile zone. The nurse then releases the top edge 40 of the last fold 21' while passing the leg still further into the drape, and the draping is thus completed.
  • While some control of the modified drape can be obtained "by folding the drape transversely upward upon itself in any manner to form folds and then tucking the top edges of the folds under a cuff, it is preferable to fold the drape from the bottom upward in half upon itself a plurality of times, as in the embodiments illustrated in the drawings, until the desired degree of compactness is obtained. All of the folds may then be tucked under a cuff. As the outermost fold at any moment is, in turn, released by the nurse, the effective length of the drape which is available for penetration by the body member doubles. This is shown most clearly in FIGS. 14 through 16. Originally When the nurse holds the top edge 40 and 41 of folds 21' and 21 as in FIG.
  • the effective length of the drape available for leg penetration is the distance from top front cover sheet edge 7 to fold line F as shown in FIG. 16.
  • the effective length of the drape is the distance from top front cover sheet edge 7 to fold line F which was top edge 40 of the released fold.
  • the last fold is released, the full length of the drape may be utilized. While any folding and subsequent tucking of folds under the cuff may result in the nurse being able to easily prevent the surgical drape from initially falling into a nonsterile zone, the particular fold described is advantageous in that complete control is retained over the surgical drape until the application to the patient is complete.
  • a folded surgical drape comprising a back cover sheet and a front cover sheet overlying and superimposed upon said back cover sheet, said front cover sheet and said back cover sheet being secured together along at least one side, and an edge of said back cover sheet and an edge of said front cover sheet defining an open end of said drape; a front cuff joined to the outer face of said front cover sheet in proximate relation to said open end of said drape; and a back cuff joined to the outer face of said back cover sheet in proximate relation to said open end of said drape, said cuffs opening away from said open end of said drape, a portion of said front cover sheet and front cuff and of said back cover sheet and back cuff being folded essentially congruently, forward to define a flap-like fold overlying a portion of theouter face of said front cover sheet and only a portion of said front cuff, said portion of said back cuff and of said back cover sheet constituting the outer face of said flap-like fold, by virtue of which a folded surgical drape is
