Abstract
A fenestrated surgical drape has a panel having at least two portions and a centrally located fenestration. The two portions each have a deployment tab located on a portion distal end and the portions are folded near or on the fenestration so that the deployment tab is accessible and adapted to deploy the portion away from the fenestration. The portions are folded over the fenestration so that the inner surface surrounding the fenestration is unobstructed for ease in locating the fenestration over a patient application site.

A fenestrated surgical drape configured for in situ deployment, comprising:
- a panel having at least two portions, an outer surface, and an inner surface;
- and
- a fenestration centrally located in the panel when the panel is folded;
- wherein each of the at least two portions has a deployment tab located on a portion distal end corner and the portions are folded over the fenestration so that each deployment tab is accessible and adapted to deploy the portion from over the fenestration to away from the fenestration.
A fenestrated surgical drape configured for in situ deployment, comprising:
- a panel having at least two portions, an outer surface, and an inner surface;
- a fenestration centrally located in the panel when the panel is folded;
- and
- a means for deployment on each of the at least two portions located on a portion distal end corner and the portions are folded over the fenestration so that the means for deployment is accessible and adapted to deploy the portion from over the fenestration to away from the fenestration.
A fenestrated surgical drape configured for in situ application, comprising:
- a panel having at least two portions, an outer surface, and an inner surface;
- a fenestration centrally located in the panel;
