Reusable Draping Systems and Adhesive Products by SMG

What is a medical adhesive drape?

A medical adhesive drape is a sterile sheet of high-grade flexible film or fabric coated with skin-safe adhesive that allows it to securely stick to the patient’s skin during medical procedures. SMG manufactures top-quality medical adhesive drapes that offer multiple features such as:

  • Sterile barrier protection
  • High-tech medical adhesive coating
  • Transparent or opaque materials for higher visibility
  • Ability to resist fluids
  • Pressure-sensitive adhesion technology
  • Breathability
  • Moisture control with semi-permeable barriers
  • Compatible with antimicrobial coatings like iodophor or chlorhexidine


Therefore, a medical adhesive drape is a multi-functional single-use sterile device with a layer of medical adhesive that is used to cover or isolate a specific area of the body during medical or surgical procedures. Main benefits include reducing the risk of infection and contamination through the creation of a pressure-sensitive sterile barrier that offers a range of medical applications without limiting visibility of the site.

What are reusable draping systems and reusable surgical drapes?

A reusable surgical drape, unlike a disposable single-use surgical drape, is designed with durable, high-performance materials that can be reused many times, typically 50 to 100 times during its lifecycle. Therefore, the reusable surgical drape must be properly washed, cleaned, and sterilized for each use, which requires an entire system or setup. A reusable draping system refers to the entire list of items needed to support reusable surgical drapes, which includes:

  • Surgical drapes
  • Mayo stand covers
  • Back table covers
  • Gown sets
  • Instrument wraps


Soest Medical Group can create custom procedure kits for specific kinds of surgeries or medical procedures. Engineered for durability and resilience, SMG reusable surgical drapes can be custom-made from materials such as polyester, polyester-cotton blends, microfibers, and membrane laminates, and treated with antimicrobial and fluid-repellent coatings. They are used in a broad spectrum of medical applications, including general surgery, orthopedic surgery, cardiovascular surgery, neurosurgery, and veterinary use. Benefits of reusable draping systems include environmental sustainability, long-term cost efficiency, and superior barrier performance.

What is soluble medical tape?

Soluble tape is a water-soluble, bio-dissolvable adhesive tape or strip made from polymers such as PVA. It is designed to temporarily perform its function—such as covering a wound or holding a medical dressing in place—after which it dissolves completely without leaving a trace. The dissolution process typically requires exposure to moisture or body temperature, which happens naturally during normal hospital wash cycles, like showers and baths.

Benefits of using soluble tape for sterile draping

Soluble tape is highly effective for sterile draping procedures because it dissolves completely in fluids, leaving no residue on the patient’s skin, drapes, or surgical instruments. This makes it ideal for highly sterile or clean environments where leftover tape is undesirable. Unlike standard tapes that require manual removal, soluble tape dissolves on its own, eliminating the need for removal and reducing the risk of skin trauma or wound contamination.

Non-woven strips improve performance for draping systems

Non-woven strips are medical adhesive products generally made from synthetic fibers such as rayon, polyester, or polypropylene. These strips are bonded through mechanical, chemical, or thermal processes—not woven or knitted. They are used for medical purposes such as anchoring reinforcement strips, absorbent padding or liquid control barriers, and backing for skin contact zones. The main difference between non-woven strips and woven medical adhesives is that non-woven strips provide stronger edge control during draping, enhanced fluid control due to their absorbency, and a gentler experience for the skin.
