The Sterile-Z patient drape is a patient cover designed to protect the sterile field of your intraoperative patients prior to introducing them into a three-dimensional fluoroscopic imaging device. The Sterile-Z patient drape helps protect the patient from contamination during imaging without compromising visualization. It also protects the patient by wrapping the neuromonitor wires and foley catheters under the table.

The Sterile-Z patient drape can be applied by two sterile handlers and one non-sterile handler in less than 30 seconds. To begin, place the Sterile-Z patient drape over the patient. Open the cover to expose the directional and instructional labels as well as the tear tabs. Break the tear tabs and have each sterile handler unfold the drape over the length of the patient and then over the width of the patient. Position the Z-folds slightly off-center of the patient. Then, have the non-sterile handler pull the straps under the table inclosing the neuromonitor wires and foley tubes and fasten them to the nearside of the drape. Tightly wrap the straps, but take care to avoid breaking the position of the reference frame.

Put the drape snug against the reference balls as this will enhance the vision of the reference frame. When ready for imaging, introduce the patient into the imaging field. When ready to dispose of the drape have the non-sterile handlers place their hands on the handles and pull to allow the drape to separate. Then simply let the sterile drape fall away from the patient and then dispose. This method lets the doctors continue surgery without delay.
