SURGICAL SECURING MEANS Means are provided for use with surgical drapes or towels, by which the surgical drape or towel may be secured to the body of a surgical patient, or by which surgical tubing or other articles may be fixed in place relative to the sterile field on the patient. The securing means, in general, comprises a movable and placeable body -- several are used -- having a lower surface which may be adhesively attached to the body of the surgical patient, and having an upper surface with several protuberances or other portions that extend above the area surrounding them. The securing means are affixed to the body of the patient, and then the surgical drapes or towels may be affixed to the securing means by clamping them thereto, without piercing the drape or towel and thereby assuring that the septic barrier around the sterile field remains unbroken. There is also no trauma to the patient. File No. PAT6152 |
