Which of the following drapes is classified as non-fenestrated?

U drape
Transverse
Craniotomy
Laparotomy

The correct answer is: U drape

The U drape is characterized as a non-fenestrated drape because it does not have any openings or fenestrations designed for access to the surgical site. This type of drape is used in procedures where the entire area around the site needs to be covered while still allowing access to the surgical team. In contrast, fenestrated drapes like the craniotomy drape feature openings that allow for direct access to specific anatomical areas, making them suitable for targeted surgical interventions. Similarly, the laparotomy drape also has fenestrations to facilitate access to the abdominal cavity. The transverse drape, depending on its specific design, may also incorporate fenestrations. Therefore, the U drape stands out as the only option among the choices that does not have any such openings, making it non-fenestrated.
