Superior quality surgical drapesConventional reusable linen drapes do not offer consistent performance to prevent infection – think of tears and holes during washing and mending. Ahlstrom's complete range of single-use surgical fabrics provide the same superior barrier protection in every use – viral, bacterial, particulate and fluid. They significantly reduce the risk of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs), making life safer for clinicians and patients.
• Absorbent for a cleaner operating room floor in high fluid surgeries
Repellent to avoid fluid penetration in low fluid surgeries
• Impervious, creating a total barrier to bacteria and viruses to better protect patients from infection
• Fabrics offer high strength to avoid puncture and tear during manufacturing and use
• Compliant with EN 13795, providing minimum safety standards in every use
• Flexible fabric designs for a wide range of draping needs
• Easy to handle, sturdy and easy to convert
• Virtually no lint means no carrier for bacteria to move about the operating room
Key benefits
High Performance – Critical zone (according to EN13795 standards)

High Performance – Non-critical zone (according to EN13795 standards)
- B13A743 (SMS) - B13A750 (SMS)
Higher performance fabrics for better surgery outcomes
In the operating room, the success of a surgery is a combination of several factors and choosing the right surgical drape is one of them. Fabric barrier and strength are key requirements for surgical drapes, yet other properties such as drapeability, puncture resistance and linting must be taken into account to protect the patient and not interfere with the surgery.
Protecting patients from simple to very high risk surgeries
Ahlstrom offers a complete range of single-use medical fabrics designed to deliver highest levels of protection and meet all requirements of surgical drape
applications. Our portfolio of technologies offer a variety of materials ranging from film-based composites to SMS (spunbond/meltblown/spunbond). Our drape fabrics are available in a range of compositions, weights and colors -- and their properties can be tailored to match specific performance requirements.
Ahlstrom's full offering for drapes and ability to customise can be discussed with our sales and technical team.
Flexible and strong for drape manufacturers
Our fabrics are suited for a variety of converting methods - heat seal, ultrasonic bonding, adhesives. These virtually lint-free fabrics deliver consistent barrier performance through manufacturing and sterilization (EtO and plasma) as well as in the operating theater.

Repellent fabrics are ideal for drapes designed for surgeries lower risk surgeries or surgeries with minimum amount of fluids. Due to its excellent barrier properties and repellency to low tension liquids and antistatic treatment SMS fabrics offer the right balance between performance and cost.
Impervious and absorbent fabrics are designed to comply with the demands of drapes for high risk surgeries, such as orthopedic or cardiovascular. Due to absorbency, wet strength, puncture resistance, virtually no lint, antistatic
