Retracting eye drape

A drape assembly for use around a patient's eye to seclude and seal off the operative field during eye surgery, comprising:

• a drape having a non-adherent side and an adherent side, the adherent side comprising an adhesive adapted to directly adhere to a substantial area of a patient's skin surrounding the patient's eye;
• a retraction member connected to the drape and adapted to secure directly to the patient's eyelid;
• and
• an extension member connected to the drape proximate the retraction member and having a portion selectively positionable to substantially enclose the patient's eyelid when the retraction member is secured to the patient's eyelid.

A drape assembly for use around a patient's eye to seclude and seal off the operative field during eye surgery, comprising:

• a drape having a non-adherent side and an adherent side, the adherent side amenable to adherence to the patient's facial area around the patient's eye;
• a retraction member connected to the drape and adapted to secure directly to the patient's eyelid;
• and
• an extension member connected to the drape proximate the retraction member and having a portion selectively positionable to substantially enclose the patient's eyelid when the retraction member is secured to the patient's eyelid;
• wherein the drape defines an opening positionable over the patient's eye, the retraction member being positioned proximate the opening, the extension member securing to the drape proximate the opening and having a portion thereof positionable within the opening when the retraction member is secured to the patient's eyelid;
• and
• wherein the extension member comprises a strip formed of thin material secured along a longer dimension of the strip to the drape proximate the opening.

A drape assembly for use around a patient's eye to seclude and seal off the operative field during eye surgery, comprising:

• a drape having a non-adherent side and an adherent side, the adherent side amenable to adherence to the patient's facial area around the patient's eye;
• a frangible portion formed in the drape, the frangible portion being rupturable to create an elongate opening extending thereacross;
• a substantially non-frangible portion completely encircling the frangible portion;
• and
• an extension member connected to the drape proximate the frangible portion and configured to substantially enclose the patient's eyelid.

• a frangible portion formed in the drape, the frangible portion being rupturable to create an elongate opening extending thereacross and comprising a plurality of bridges extending between a plurality of slits formed in the drape;
• an extension member connected to the drape proximate the frangible portion and configured to substantially enclose the patient's eyelid;
• and
• a retraction member secured to the drape proximate the opening and configured to secure to the patient's eyelid.

• a drape having a non-adherent side and an adherent side, the adherent side amenable to adherence to a facial area of the patient substantially surrounding the patient's eye;
• a retraction member connected to the drape and adapted to secure directly to the patient's eyelid;
• and
• an extension member connected to the drape proximate the retraction member and having a portion selectively positionable to substantially enclose the patient's eyelid when the retraction member is secured to the patient's eyelid;
• wherein the retraction member is connected to the drape distanced from a perimeter of the drape and having an adhesive underside adapted to adhere directly to an upper surface of the patient's eyelid;
• and
• wherein the extension member is connected to the drape distanced from the perimeter of the drape, the extension member having a non-adhesive underside facing the same as the adhesive underside of the retraction member when undeformed, the extension member selectively positionable contacting an inner surface of the patient's eyelid when the retraction member is secured to the patient's eyelid.
