ACTI-Gard Antimicrobial Incise Drapes
Use ACTI-Gard Antimicrobial Incise
Drapes to reduce the risk of skin
flora contamination throughout a
surgical procedure. The antimicrobial
agent in ACTI-Gard has low water
solubility thus will not leach from
the adhesive during wet procedures.
The Iodine based antimicrobial agent
in ACTI-Gard. Antimicrobial Incise
Drapes were evaluated in laboratory
studies and found to be both safe
and effective in reducing the levels
of both laboratory stock and clinical
isolates of organisms commonly associated
with post-operative infection. The
antimicrobial agent in ACTI-Gard
Antimicrobial Incise Drape is stable
in the presence of Ethylene Oxide
and gamma sterilization. This assures
that the antimicrobial activity
of the material is maintained during
processing without adding the cost
of special packaging.

Tiburon® Surgical Drapes
Tiburon® surgical drapes from
Cardinal Health will change the
way you think about drapes and draping
at your facility. Tiburon fabric
is a three-layer, microfiber composite
consisting of an absorbent fluid
control layer, an impermeable membrane
and a soft patient comfort layer.
Tiburon® is engineered to pass
the industry standard tests that
measure fluid and synthetic viral
penetration, which helps to provide
the maximum in clinical and patient
safety. It’s resistant to abrasion
and puncture, yet its flexible,
cloth-like properties allow it to
drape naturally, following the contours
of the patient. Classified as a
level 4 device under the new AAMI
guidelines for barrier performance,
Tiburon surgical drapes provide
the highest level of protection
available in a surgical drape. Beyond
the AAMI standard, Tiburon fabric
also passes the even more stringent
industry test for viral penetration
ASTM F1671.
The CDC states that 2.6% of all
surgical procedures result in a
surgical site infection, increasing
the patient’s hospital stay
by 7 to 10 days at an estimated
cost of $3,000 per incident. Tiburon®
surgical drapes were designed to
improve patient outcomes by contributing
to the reduction of surgical site
infections. Combining an impervious
barrier with impressive fluid control
capabilities is the key to this
remarkable material’s effectiveness.
Tiburon® fabric is lower linting
than other currently available surgical
drape fabrics when compared in laboratory
testing.
