Sterile Half Drape Sheet - SMS Surgical Drape for General Purpose Procedures (Fluid-Resistant)

Premium General Purpose Half Drape Sheet for Surgical Excellence

Delivering optimal protection and exceptional performance in creating and maintaining a sterile field during surgical procedures, this professional-grade half drape sheet represents the pinnacle of surgical draping technology. Designed for use in the broadest variety of surgical procedures and in conjunction with procedure-specific drapes, this versatile draping solution provides comprehensive protection for both patients and clinical teams.

Advanced Barrier Protection for Patient and Staff Safety

This surgical drape sheet effectively protects patients and clinical teams from the transfer of microorganisms, fluids, and particulate material in the operating room environment. The advanced barrier properties create a reliable protective shield that maintains the integrity of the sterile field throughout even the most demanding surgical procedures, significantly reducing the risk of surgical site infections and cross-contamination events.

State-of-the-Art SMS Non-Woven Fabric Technology

Manufactured from 100% polypropylene using state-of-the-art SMS (Spunbond-Meltblown-Spunbond) non-woven fabric technology, this drape sheet is exceptionally soft, highly drapeable, and remarkably fluid-resistant. The innovative SMS fabric is expertly constructed of three distinct layers of material working in perfect harmony: an outer spunbond layer, a critical inner meltblown layer, and another outer spunbond layer. This sophisticated tri-layer construction delivers superior performance across all critical metrics.

Superior Multi-Layer Construction Benefits

The inner meltblown layer provides superior filtering capabilities, exceptional barrier properties, and outstanding strength characteristics that are essential for demanding surgical applications. The spunbond outer layers provide excellent resistance to strike-through, tears, punctures, and abrasion, ensuring the drape maintains its protective integrity throughout the entire surgical procedure. This specifically designed SMS fabric offers exceptional fluid repellency to dramatically reduce strike-through of fluids such as alcohol-based prep solutions, iodine solutions, and other surgical fluids commonly encountered in the operating room.

Low-Linting Properties for Enhanced Patient Safety

The low-linting SMS fabric properties significantly reduce particle generation—a well-documented source of post-operative complications caused by bacterial transmission or foreign body contamination. By minimizing lint production, this drape sheet helps maintain a cleaner surgical environment and reduces the risk of complications that can extend hospital stays and compromise patient outcomes. This feature is particularly critical in procedures involving implants or internal organs where foreign material contamination must be absolutely minimized.

Flame-Resistant Safety Features

The flame-resistant polypropylene construction prevents ignition risks associated with the use of high-energy medical devices during surgery, including electrosurgical units, lasers, and other thermal instruments. This critical safety feature provides peace of mind for surgical teams working with cautery devices and other equipment that generates heat or sparks, helping to prevent operating room fires and ensuring a safer surgical environment for everyone.

Intuitive Design for Efficient Surgical Workflow

The fan-folded drape design with clear instructional stamps promotes exceptional ease of use, aseptic presentation, and intuitive drape placement. This thoughtful design feature streamlines the draping process, reduces setup time, and minimizes the risk of contamination during drape deployment. The clear visual guides ensure proper orientation and placement, even for less experienced surgical team members, contributing to more efficient turnover times and consistent sterile field establishment.

Single-Use Sterile Design for Optimal Infection Control

Each drape is individually packaged in a disposable design for single sterile use, ensuring consistent quality and eliminating the risks associated with reusable drapes such as incomplete sterilization, fabric degradation, or cross-contamination. The single-use format supports modern infection control protocols and provides the highest level of assurance that each drape meets stringent sterility standards at the point of use.
