ABSTRACT An article adaptable for use as a universal medical cover sheet is shown. The article is comprised of draping material and an integrally associated surgical zone and is formed as a closed loop. The loop is dimensioned such that opening of the loop yields a cover sheet having the surgical zone positioned within the draping material so that non-surgical areas of a patient are covered sufficiently for surgical purposes by draping material when the surgical zone is placed to permit access to the surgical site involved in the procedure. the loop is preferably formed so that its outer surface will become the patient surface of the cover sheet resulting upon opening of the loop. It is preferably folded first along longitudinal fold lines and thereafter along transverse fold lines. The folding preferably results in exposure of the surgical zone at an outer surface of the folded loop. Selection of the line along which the loop should be opened for a given procedure is facilitated by providing transverse cut marks on the drafting material. In use, the surgical nurse would determine where the loop should be opened, open the loop preferably by cutting with sterile scissors, place the surgical zone on the surgical site involved in the procedure, and then unfold the cover sheet.
