Description
A surgical drape with an integrated fluid collection pouch is designed to capture blood and irrigation fluids at the source, helping maintain a clean, dry operative field and reducing splash and strikethrough risk. It combines an absorbent, low-lint top layer with a fluid-impervious backing to provide dependable barrier performance while remaining soft, pliable, and easy to position for patient comfort.
