The 3M 1040 Steri‑Drape Incise Drape (13" × 13") is designed to provide a sterile barrier precisely at the incision site at the start of surgical procedures. Its clear, flexible polyethylene film allows clinicians to view the underlying skin and anatomical landmarks while maintaining a sterile interface. The film is designed to adhere securely to the patient’s skin around the incision, creating a seal that helps immobilize resident skin flora and limit microbial migration from surrounding skin into the surgical field.

The drape’s 13 in × 13 in fenestration offers a generous working aperture that is suitable for many medium‑sized surgical sites without requiring custom cutting. The adhesive border ensures that the drape remains stable throughout the procedure, resisting fluid ingress around the edges. Because it provides a liquid barrier, it helps protect both the wound and the surgical team from blood or fluid exposure beyond the sterile field.

Clinically, the Steri‑Drape 1040 is commonly used in general surgery, orthopedics, vascular, and other operative areas where a mid‑size sterile field is needed around an incision. Its single‑use, sterile packaging helps minimize cross‑contamination risk, and its relatively simple design (no pouches, no reinforcement) keeps it economical and versatile. Because of its adhesive design, it reduces the need for additional drape fixation steps, thereby saving setup time and improving OR efficiency.
