A surgical drape (10, 10') is formed from at least one panel material (12) having a first side (14) disposed in use adjacent a patient and a second side (16) facing away from the patient. A taping strip (20, 134) is provided at said first side (14) of said panel (12) and extends parallel to and adjacent to an edge (18) of the drape disposed in use adjacent to a site of a surgical wound (102). The taping strip is adhesively connectable in use to the patient (104), for example by the use of a two-sided adhesive tape (26). The taping strip (20) comprises a single kind of medical fabric (12; 132), preferably a single layer of a medical fabric (12; 132), at least over a major portion of its width, having a weave or structure sufficiently dense to prevent the passage of bacteria through it. The material (12; 132) forming the taping strip (20) has a portion (22; 136) folded back on itself at a fold (24) towards the second side (16) of the panel (12). Any stitched seam (36) in the folded back portion (22; 136) is arranged so that it does not pass through the panel material (12) directly adjacent to the patient. <IMAGE> |
