An Impervious Surgical Drape
A new drape fabric may be especially good at preventing fluid pooling and wound infection, and also providing comfort for patients. Convertors' Tiburon drape from Cardinal Health combines three fabric layers: an absorbent fluid-control layer, an impermeable membrane and a patient comfort layer. The top layer holds and disperses fluid, keeping it from pooling on top of the patient, says Cardinal. According to the company, Tiburon outperformed competitive technologies in a series of industry-standard tests including puncture resistance, strength and absorbency. Tests also show lower levels of lint. Tiburon replaces Convertors' Optima spunlaced fabric but is comparably priced.
