Tech in Surgery Prep / Unit 18   TSC 440 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Drapes and Patient Dignity

Captions available

The idea

Draping exposes only the part of the body needed for the procedure, which protects both the field and the patient's dignity.

In practice

Respect for modesty, including cultural norms, shapes how a patient is positioned and draped, and the team stays professional throughout.

Where people slip

An anesthetized patient cannot ask to be covered, so the team covers them.
