Table covers, equipment drapes, fluid collection pouches and instrument bags
Microscope drape
BARRIER® supplementary products complement your patient drapes in the OR, helping to minimise the risk of bacterial contamination.
We understand it can be difficult and even impossible to sterilise all the equipment you use in the OR. Our wide range of supplementary products, such as covers for tables and equipment, fluid collection pouches and instrument bags are to complete your sterile draping.
- Impermeable to prevent strikethrough – and help protect equipment from fluids
- Allows sterile handling of equipment that cannot be sterilised
- Easy for one person to drape
- Wide range of products provides protection for most OR equipment
- Can be included in Mölnlycke procedure trays to support OR efficiency
BARRIER table covers
The BARRIER range of table covers are made of strong and durable materials for reliable quality. The impermeable and effective absorption layer prevents the working surface from strikethrough and contamination.
BARRIER table covers come with integrated tapes – and they are carefully folded and packaged for quick and easy fixation and handling.
BARRIER equipment drapes
The BARRIER range of equipment drapes and covers fits the most commonly used pieces of O.R. equipment, such as microscopes, C-arms, ultrasound probes, light handles, tubes and cameras.
BARRIER equipment drapes are designed to reduce the risk of infection, help protect the equipment against fluids and to be handled easily.
BARRIER incise films
BARRIER incise films act as barriers between the patient's skin and the wound. This provides a sterile surface around the wound edge both before and during surgery, to minimise the spread of bacteria. Incise films also protect the skin surface from scratching as well as damage from retractors. In addition they help keep the other draping material in place.
BARRIER incision films adhere well to the skin while remaining comfortable during surgery and on removal. Good breathability prevents moisture build-up and improves patient comfort. They are free of known allergens and offer good drapability even in more delicate areas. Thanks to appropriate finger lifts, they are flexible and easy to apply.
