What they are

Central line drapes give a large sterile field for inserting central venous catheters, with an opening over the insertion site. Central lines are placed at the bedside in intensive care units and emergency departments, as well as in procedure rooms and the OR. Many facility protocols call for a large sterile drape as part of full-barrier precautions during insertion.

Drapes in this range

• Central line drape
• Central line sheet
• Full-body central line drape
• Jugular sheet
• Line insertion drape

Typical uses

• Central venous catheter insertion at the jugular, subclavian or femoral site
• Bedside line placement in ICU and emergency settings
• Line insertion in procedure rooms, interventional suites and the OR
• Other catheter or line insertions that need a sterile field over the access site

How to choose

1. Follow your protocol. If your facility requires full-body coverage for central line insertion, use the full-body central line drape.
2. Match the site. The jugular sheet is designed for neck access. The line insertion drape and central line drape suit other sites.
3. Think about bedside use. For ICU use, the drape should open quickly and cover the bed as well as the patient.
4. Keep supplies together. Many units stock central line drapes alongside their line insertion supplies so that everything is in one place at the bedside.

Why a dedicated central line drape

A drape designed for line insertion puts the opening where it is needed and covers the patient in one step. That helps the clinician set up a consistent sterile field each time.
