Abstract

A surgical drape kit for performing a surgical procedure includes a surgical drape having a fenestration site; a plurality of containers attached to the surgical drape; and a plurality of components used to perform a surgical procedure. The containers are attached to the surgical drape around a perimeter of the fenestration site. Each container includes at least one component. Disposition of the components inside the containers is determined by sequential steps of the surgical procedure.

Claims

1. A surgical drape kit for performing a surgical procedure on a patient comprising:

a surgical drape having a fenestration site;

a plurality of containers attached to the surgical drape; and

a plurality of components used to perform a surgical procedure,

wherein each of the plurality of containers includes at least one of the plurality of components disposed therein,

wherein the at least one of the plurality of components disposed inside each of the plurality of containers is determined by sequential steps of the surgical procedure, and

wherein the plurality of containers is attached to the surgical drape around a perimeter of the fenestration site.

2. The surgical drape kit of claim 1, wherein the plurality of containers is sequentially attached to the surgical drape around the perimeter of the fenestration site.

3. The surgical drape kit of claim 1, wherein the sequential steps of the surgical procedure comprises a first step, and a second step;

wherein the plurality of components comprises a first component used to perform the first step, and a second component used to perform the second step; and

wherein the plurality of containers comprises a first container that includes the first component disposed therein, and a second container that includes the second component disposed therein.

4. The surgical drape kit of claim 1, wherein the plurality of containers comprises plastic bags.

5. The surgical drape kit of claim 4, wherein each of the plastic bags comprises a series of perforations formed in a line to allow creation of an opening in the bag along the perforated line.

6. The surgical drape kit of claim 4, wherein the plastic bags are resealable.

7. The surgical drape kit of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of labels associated with the plurality of containers,

wherein each of the plurality of labels comprises at least one of:

a number that corresponds to a step of the surgical procedure, and

at least one word that describes a step of the surgical procedure.

8. The surgical drape kit of claim 1, further comprising a package containing the surgical drape, the plurality of containers, and the plurality of components,

wherein the package is a pouch-type package.

9. The surgical drape kit of claim 1, wherein the surgical procedure is a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) procedure, and the plurality of components comprises a plurality of components for performing the PEG procedure.

10. The surgical drape kit of claim 9, wherein the steps of the PEG procedure comprise:

making an incision;

inserting a wire into the patient for enabling insertion of a feeding tube into the patient;

inserting the feeding tube into the patient;

applying a bolster to the feeding tube; and

attaching an adapter to the feeding tube; and

wherein the plurality of components comprises;

at least one component related to making the incision;

at least one component related to inserting the wire into the patient for enabling insertion of the feeding tube into the patient;

at least one component related to inserting the feeding tube;

at least one component related to applying the bolster to the feeding tube; and

at least one component related to attaching the adapter to the feeding tube.

11. The surgical drape kit of claim 10, wherein the plurality of containers comprises:

a first container that includes the at least one component related to making the incision disposed inside the first container,

a second container that includes the at least one component related to inserting the wire into the patient for enabling insertion of the feeding tube into the patient disposed inside the second container;

a third container that includes the at least one component related to inserting the feeding tube disposed inside the third container; and

a fourth container that includes the at least one component related to applying the bolster to the feeding tube disposed inside the fourth container, and the at least one component related to attaching the adapter to the feeding tube disposed inside the fourth container.

12. The surgical drape kit of claim 11, wherein the at least one component related to making the incision comprises a scalpel.

13. The surgical drape kit of claim 12, wherein the at least one component related making the incision further comprises at least one of a syringe, at least one needle, and a container of lidocaine hydrochloride.
