| Abstract: |
Combination surgical drape, dressing and closure structure and method of use before, during and after a surgical procedure. A combination drape and dressing includes a central dressing portion which may have an incision guide line, transverse index lines and intersecting grid lines which may be radio-opaque thereon, and a peripheral drape portion which portions are secured together by means of a weakened tear line. A straddling closure is utilized in conjunction with the combination drape and dressing to close an incision made through the dressing portion of the combination drape and dressing which straddling closure may be integral with or separate from the drape and dressing and extends over and beyond the entire length of the incision and for a substantial distance on both sides thereof. The straddling closure may be substantially flat or in a modification may be initially rolled, to be rolled onto the dressing portion of the combination drape and dressing over an incision therethrough. In a further embodiment, the straddling closure may be a quick air drying polymer rolled or sprayed onto the dressing portion of the combination drape and dressing over an incision therethrough. Also, the straddling closure may be constructed of stretchable material. Antiseptic material and/or medication may be sprayed on or placed in the dressing portion of the combination drape and dressing, or the straddling closure. All or any of the portions of the combination surgical drape, dressing and closure structure may be color coded for such things as medication, size and shape.
