    MaterialsTiburon™ fabric: It’s engineered to be impervious for maximum patient and clinician safety. It’s resistant to abrasion and punctures, yet its flexible, cloth-like properties allow it to drape naturally, following the contours of the patient.

    Tiburon™ fabric has fluid control capabilities not found in other drape materials. These unique performance features enable Tiburon™ surgical drapes to improve patient outcomes by contributing to the reduction of surgical site infections.

    Tiburon™ fabric is a three-layer composite made up of an absorbent, fluid control layer, an impermeable membrane and a patient comfort layer. It was created by Cardinal Health in cooperation with the Ahlstrom Corporation, a world leader in the development and production of surgical non-woven fabrics.

    The top layer of spunbond microfiber fabric receives a treatment which makes it absorbent. The lighter, bottom fabric layer is engineered for maximum patient comfort. Tiburon™ fabric’s impermeable middle layer is a cast-extruded polyethylene membrane laminated to the non-woven components. This thin membrane adds little to the fabric weight, yet it provides a fluid barrier substantial enough to qualify as impervious by rigorous FDA-recognized standards.

    The Tiburon™ fabric is made into surgical drapes at Cardinal Health facilities in the United States, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic utilizing the latest in computercontrolled material handling and the precision craftsmanship that comes from more than 30 years of experience designing and fabricating single-use drapes and gowns.

    Product Description
    Tiburon™ surgical drapes from Cardinal Health will change the way you think about drapes and draping in your facility.

    Shrinking budgets and reduced reimbursements mean costs must be carefully controlled at every turn without sacrificing the quality of care or jeopardizing patient outcomes. Each decision must be evaluated from the perspective of total value and long-term implications.

    One very effective way to control costs is to reduce the incidence of surgical site infections, which is why we created Tiburon™ surgical drapes.

    Tiburon™ surgical drapes are inspired by nature, perfected by science.

    Tiburon™ surgical drapes follow the successful run of Convertors® brand Optima® spunlaced fabric from Cardinal Health, which has been the market-leading disposable drape fabric technology since 1985.

    Optima® fabric has served the industry extremely well, but technology has made considerable advances of late, and it is now possible to offer impervious fabric — and all the protection it brings — to an entire line of surgical drapes.
