<p>Disclosed herein are a two layer fenestrated incise system (10) for surgical drapes (11) and the resultant surgical drape (11). The incise system (10) is a two layer structure including a first layer (12) of incise with an adhesive bottom surface for adhering the layer (12) to a surgical drape (11) and/or the skin of a patient. The second layer (14) of incise is generally coetensive with and releasably attachable to the first layer (12) of incise so as to cover the fenestration (26) of the first layer. To use the incise system of the present invention the two layer structure is applied to the patient's skin such that the fenestration (26) of the first layer (12) of incise directly overlies the intended incision area. An incision can then be made directly through the two layers (12, 14) of incise in the area of the fenestration in the first layer. Once the procedure is completed, the top (second) layer (14) of incise is peeled from the bottom (first) layer (12). As the top layer (14) is removed, the fenestration area (26) of the first layer is revealed thereby exposing a portion of the patient's skin surrounding the incision. As a result, suturing of the incision is make easier since it is no longer necessary to pick and peel the incise away from the incision to expose sufficient skin to allow suturing without catching the incise in the process. <IMAGE></p> |
