[0048] III. Improve the efficiency of towel laying:

[0049] The solution uses a single integrated drape, which takes about 30 seconds to complete one drape, saving 3-4 minutes compared to traditional flat drapes. This shortens the time for a single surgery and improves surgical turnaround and turnaround efficiency.

[0050] IV. Fully functional laparoscopy:

[0051] This solution has eight pre-installed suture fixing clips, which can fix the light guide, electrocoagulation wire, suction tube, and irrigation tube regardless of the direction of the suture during laparoscopic surgery. It replaces the method of using tissue forceps to hold the drape during surgery, protects the drape from damage by tissue forceps, and provides a firm fixation that is easy to adjust.

[0052] In addition, four instrument placement bags are pre-placed near the surgical incision. During use, instruments such as laparoscopic forceps, ultrasonic scalpels, and electrosurgical hooks are placed there, transforming the originally flat drape structure into a three-dimensional one. This makes them easy to access and avoids accidental electric burns from electrosurgical instruments, as well as preventing instruments from slipping due to improper placement.
