Cesarian section collecting incise drape

Abstract

A Cesarian Section Collecting Incise Drape, for collecting and retaining out-gushing amniotic fluid that escapes from an opened amniotic sac during surgery. Specifically, the drape comprises a waterproof main body drape having an incise opening that overlies and exposes a wide operative area on the body covered thereby. In order to collect such fluid a sheet of clear transparent plastic material or its equivalent, having an opening therein of larger size than the bottom incise opening of the main body drape, whereupon its external peripheral margins are secured to the main body drape by adhesive means, such as adhesive tape, heat-seal, or cement to form a waterproof bag that will receive waste fluids rapidly flowing therein. Furthermore, the results obtained by the aforementioned constructed drape collecting bag combination may also be achieved by the use of a clear transparent plastic sheet like that described hereinabove, and subsequently affix it by a waterproof adhesive or heat-seal around its outer edges onto any brand of a regular body drape that has a traditional operative opening and thus avoid the need and extra cost of obtaining a ready factory made C-Section Collecting Drape.
