A drapery shield (10) for preventing cautery burns to the skin of a patient about the area to be cauterized has a first or upper layer (12) which is formed from a fire-retardant material and a second or underdrape layer (14) which is formed from a non-porous material. The two layers are bonded to each other, such as by sonic welding or the like. An adhesive tape (15) or similar material is used to removably adhere the shield to the skin of a patient about the area to be cauterized. The fire-retardant material prevents cautery burns or the like to the patient.
