Claims16
A disposable medical drape for containment of medical waste fluids, said drape comprising:
- a flexible drape body having an impervious side and an absorbent side,
- a first drape end,
- a second drape end,
- a clamp for a first drape end, a clamp for a second drape end, and a clamp for in between the first and second drape ends attached to said drape, the clamps including a self-maintained first linear non-clamped position and a self-maintained non-linear, second-clamp position,
- wherein said clamps are adapted to alternate said drape between the self-maintained first linear non-clamped position, for adherence to a medical table base having a curved dimension, and the self-maintained non-linear, second-clamp position.
A self-clamping, disposable medical drape for containment of medical waste fluids, said drape comprising:
- a flexible drape body having an impervious side and an absorbent side,
- a first drape end,
- a second drape end,
- at least one clamp, including a self-maintained first linear non-clamped position and a self-maintained non-linear, second-clamp position, wherein said at least one clamp is adapted to alternate said drape between the self-maintained first linear non-clamped position, for adherence to a medical equipment having a curved dimension, and the self-maintained non-linear, second-clamp position,
- wherein said self-clamping drape is configured to be in a first non-clamped position prior to installing said drape about a table base, the second clamp position when installed about a table base, and a releasable position configured to be removable from the table base when pulled away from the base.
A disposable medical drape kit for containment of medical wastes, comprising:
- a self-clamping, disposable medical drape configured to cover an equipment base of a medical table under a patient support,
- a set of end drapes configured to cover each base end of a medical table,
- wherein said medical drape and a distal drape end of each end drape overlaps under the patient support and forms a barrier covering the medical table portions below the patient support in order to protect the medical table portions below the patient support from medical waste exposure.
A disposable medical drape for containment of medical waste fluids, said drape comprising:
- a body portion,
- a first side portion,
- a second side portion,
- a first end, the first end being a table base end,
- a cut out in the first end,
- a second end, the second end being a distal end,
- wherein said drape is configured to create a barrier between fluids escaping a patient support and an irregularly shaped lower portion of a medical table below the patient support and toward the base, and wherein the cut out in the first end surrounds and attaches to a vertical portion of the base.
