ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Disclosed herein is an incise system for surgical drapes and the resultant surgical drape. The incise system is a two layer structure including a first layer of incise with an adhesive bottom surface for adhering the layer to a surgical drape and/or the skin of a patient. The first layer of incise further defines a fenestrated area removably attached to the remainder of the first layer by a line of perforations. The second layer of incise is generally coextensive with and releasably attachable to the first layer of incise so as to cover the fenestrated area of the first layer. To use the incise system of the present invention the two layer structure is applied to the patient's skin such that the fenestrated area of the first layer of incise directly overlies the intended incision area. An incision can then be made directly through the two layers of incise. Once the procedure is completed, the top (second) layer of incise is peeled from the bottom (first) layer. In so doing, the top layer also removes the perforated fenestration area from the first layer thereby exposing a portion of the patient's skin surrounding the incision. As a result, suturing of the incision is made easier since it is no longer necessary to pick and peel the incise away from the incision to expose sufficient skin to allow suturing without catching the incise in the process.
