Fenestrated Thyroid Drape

Description

The Multigate Protex4 Thyroid Drape is a single‑use surgical drape developed for procedures involving the thyroid and parathyroid glands. It combines an absorbent top layer with an impervious backing to help maintain a dry operative field while providing a fluid barrier. The drape incorporates an adhesive, reinforced diamond aperture and a defined reinforced zone to support instrument handling and protect the operating site.
