摘要

A surgical drape (11) for use during surgery of a patient is provided. The surgical drape includes a sheet (14) that is configured for covering at least a portion of the patient during surgery. At least one diverting feature (18) is located on the sheet, and has substantially the same fluid absorbent properties as a section of the sheet that is immediately adjacent to the diverting feature. The diverting feature is configured for at least partially transferring fluid from one location on the sheet to another location on the sheet.
