A surgical drape is provided for reducing the potential for contamination at a surgical incision site which includes a first sheet having an opening for passing a body part therethrough and a second sheet connected to the first sheet proximate the opening. The second sheet is preferably of transparent synthetic resing material having adhesive coating on one side thereof. A third sheet may be provided, with the body part positioned between the second and third sheets. The second and third sheets may be connected along their respective side edges to isolate the surgical incision area. In the corresponding method, an incision may be made through the transparent second sheet, with the second sheet adhering to the body part to limit the contamination of the incision site by solids or fluids contacting or coming from the surrounding tissue.
