A flexible surgical drape has an adhesive side and a non-adhesive side. The adhesive side is adhesive across substantially its entire face. The drape consists of a flexible sheet suitable for covering a substantial portion of a patient's body. A pocket for catching patient secretions and other fluids is attached to the adhesive side of the drape. The drape contains an opening capable of receiving a removable valve, which, when in place, seals off the opening and prevents the passage of gases, secretions, and fluids that are typically present during a medical procedure. The valve can be made to lock into the opening so as to reduce the likelihood of its inadvertent removal. An examining tool such as a colonoscope fits through a hole extending through the valve and thus can be passed from one side of the drape to the other. A reservoir suitable for holding a lubricating substance is securely attached to and forms part of the valve, and the examining tool when inserted through the valve passes through this lubricating substance and is coated by it.
