Drapes available through NHS Supply Chain, and direct from MEDLINE, are said to offer solutions for all major applications.
The Invisishield speciality drapes and equipment drapes are transparent, allowing for easy viewing around incision sites, while equipment drapes make it easy to see microscope knobs, X-ray machine switches, bubbles in ultrasound gel etc. Made of a tear-resistant polyethylene and polyurethane, the drapes also provide protection from fluids. The range is available with optimal amounts of malleability and softness for good drapeability. Fluid pouches feature convenient adhesive-liner tabs that make removal easy, even when gloved. Capped, closeable ports eliminate the need to cut the pouch for drainage, improving fluid control and set-up times.
