1. A covering for an aseptic treatment site comprising:
- a substrate defining a fenestration which permits selective access to an aseptic treatment site on a patient; and
a transparent cover removably affixed to a surface of the substrate in substantially aseptic covering relation relative to the fenestration, said transparent cover defining a cavity over the aseptic treatment site when the transparent cover is disposed in covering relation relative to the fenestration, said cavity representing an empty space bound by (i) a lower surface of the transparent cover spaced away from and above the aseptic treatment site, (ii) a peripheral edge of the substrate along walls of the fenestration, and (iii) an upper surface of the aseptic treatment site on the patient;
wherein the substrate comprises a first region having a first region outer periphery, and a selectively detachable second region joined to the first region along the first region outer periphery, said transparent cover being positioned completely within the first region outer periphery.

11. A covering for an aseptic treatment site, comprising:
-
a flexible substrate having opposite first and second surfaces, and which defines a fenestration which permits access to an aseptic treatment site on a patient; a first adhesive region borne on the second surface of the flexible substrate, and which substantially surrounds the fenestration; and a flexible transparent cover hingedly affixed on the first surface of the flexible substrate, and which is repeatably moveable along a course of travel between (i) a first, covering position relative to the fenestration which permits observation of the aseptic treatment site, to (ii) a second, uncovered position relative to the fenestration which permits access to the aseptic treatment site, and (iii) back to the first, covering position without contacting an area bound by the fenestration. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A covering for an aseptic treatment site comprising:
-
a substrate defining a fenestration which permits selective access to an aseptic treatment site on a patient; and a transparent cover which is releasably adhesively affixed to the substrate and positioned in covering relation relative to the fenestration, said transparent cover having an upper surface and a lower surface, said lower surface having a pattern of adhesive thereon for releasably adhesively affixing the transparent cover to the substrate, wherein a portion of the lower surface of the transparent cover that extends over the fenestration is free of adhesive, wherein the substrate comprises a first region having a first region outer periphery, and a selectively detachable second region joined to the first region along the first region outer periphery, said transparent cover being positioned completely within the first region outer periphery. - View Dependent Claims (19)

20. A covering for an aseptic treatment site comprising:
-
a first region of a substrate having opposite first and second surfaces, the first region defining a fenestration which permits access to and surrounds a treatment site on a patient; a layer of adhesive borne by the second surface of the first region, the layer of adhesive being operatively adapted so as to adhere the first region in a substantially fixed location relative to the treatment site; a second region of the substrate which is releasably attached to and surrounds the first region, wherein the second region is detachable from the first region so as to leave the first region on the patient and around the treatment site; and a transparent cover which is affixed to the first surface of the first region and positioned completely within the first region in covering relation relative to the fenestration, the transparent cover allowing medical personal to view the treatment site without removing the transparent cover and while maintaining the treatment site in an aseptic condition. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)

23. A disposable drape comprising:
-
a first region comprising first region material having a first region outer periphery and a fenestration positioned within the first region outer periphery and surrounded by the first region material, wherein the fenestration is sized so as to surround an aseptic treatment site on a patient so that the aseptic treatment site is viewable and accessible through the fenestration; and a second region surrounding the first region outer periphery of the first region, said second region being detachably joined to the first region material such that detachment of the second region from the first region does not alter an outer periphery of the fenestration. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
