Draping Solutions
Multigate offers a variety of draping solutions to meet the varying needs of our customers.
Drape sets - Standard
Purchasing your knee drapes as a pre-specified set is the easiest way to all necessary drapes required for a procedure, together in one pack.
Drape sets - Custom
Multigate can provide any combination of drapes you like in your Custom Procedure Pack (CPP). Please talk to your Multigate Business Development Manager if you are interested in this option.
Individual Pieces
The benefit of purchasing individual drapes is that you can tailor your solution to better reflect your requirements. Two popular knee arthroscopy drape combinations created from individually purchased drapes include:
- Option A: V Pouch. The leg is draped with a large (PE0 0009) or medium (PE 0008) stockinette. A Split Sheet (35-015) is then applied followed by major drape with V Pouch (35-053). Large drape (35-001) is used to cover the patients' bed.
- Option B: Square Pouch. The leg is draped with a large (PE0 0009) or medium (PE 0008) stockinette. A Split Sheet (35-015) is then applied followed by major drape with Square Pouch (35-054). Large drape (35-001) is used to cover the patients' bed.
Note: If conducting a bilateral procedure, please use 2 of stockinette and 2 Split Sheets.

Protex®4 drapes are made from a pliable yet tough impervious bi-laminate material supported by an additional ultra-reinforcement layer to further boost absorbency if required. They are designed to eliminate bacterial transfer and deliver maximum absorbency and strikethrough prevention.

Technical Note: "Single Use" Labelled Products
The symbol above is from ISO 15223. Its definition is “Do not re-use”.
As the standard document notes, this symbol is not intended to mean "single patient use" or "single procedure use”. Items labelled as “Single Use” should be placed in the appropriate waste container once the clinical use of the device has finished on the patient.
Single Use equipment is universally recognised as an effective strategy in the healthcare sector which minimises the risks of cross-infection.
Single Use devices don't have to withstand the rigours of reprocessing and allow the use of different materials and more complex designs. All manufacturers are required to have data to show that a Single Use device will function safely for that one use only. Modern devices are commonly fabricated from synthetic materials. The interaction of these devices with the human body often leaves a biofilm on all the surfaces of the device which may be impossible to decontaminate.
Multigate Medical Products does not supply reprocessing instructions for any of our products labelled as “Single Use”.
As with all sterile items, you need to check the integrity of the packaging before use. If the packaging is damaged in any way it can no longer be considered sterile. Items left over from an opened kit or procedure pack that are not used are considered as contaminated from an infection control perspective.
If you have any questions or would like more information on this topic, please contact your local Multigate Business Development Manager or our Customer Service Department.
