Collapsible Surgical Drape for Compact Thermal-Treatment Basin Packaging

The surgical drape is folded and packaged within itself, with the larger drape structure containing the smaller packaged form. The drape is folded in a specific sequence where outer layers contain inner layers, creating a compact nested package that expands to full size during deployment, thereby resolving the contradiction between large coverage area and small packaging volume.

The surgical drape is transformed from a two-dimensional flat packaged state to a three-dimensional expanded coverage state during deployment. The folding technique creates a compact package that occupies minimal space, while upon unfolding and deployment over the medical equipment, it achieves full coverage area, effectively utilizing dimensional transformation to resolve the space contradiction.

The surgical drape is divided into distinct folded sections or panels through the folding technique, with each segment maintaining its sterile status independently. The folding creates separate compartments or layers that can be deployed in a controlled sequence, reducing the risk of cross-contamination while making the deployment process more manageable and less complex through systematic segmentation.

The drape is pre-folded and pre-packaged in a sterile configuration before use, with the folding pattern designed in advance to minimize sterile surface contact. The preliminary folding action creates a compact package that maintains sterility, and the pre-established fold lines guide the deployment process, reducing the complexity of real-time folding decisions during surgical preparation.
