What is the primary purpose of draping the surgical patient?
|
Isolate the surgical site from other areas of the patient's body and non-sterile areas of the O.R. table.
The drapes serve as a barrier to endogenous and exogenous sources of contamination, in particular endogenous contamination (patient's skin flora as the source), which is identified as a major source of SSI. It also expands the sterile field for instruments and supplies on the drapes |

|
Explain what is important about drape materials.
|
1. Drapes must be free of holes, punctures and tears.
2. Draping materials should be impervious and fluid-resistant to prevent strike-through contamination 3. Lint free drapes minimize airborne contamination and spreading of particles into the surgical wound 4. Drapes should resist ignition from sources such as lasers, fiberoptics and electrosurgery within the sterile field. |

Woven cloth materials
1. Linen 2. Cotton: contain lint which is recognized as a vector for SSI and NOT waterproof Non-woven materials 1. Rayon 2. Polyester 3. Polypropylene Fibers bonded together with cellulose by chemicals, heat or mechanically = waterproof, lint free, disposable |
