Re-usable caesarean section drapes

Is any using re-useable cs drapes in their hospital?

We are considering using the 4 sided re-usable surgical drapes we use in gynaecology but I am not sure how we collect the fluid from a cs.

Would like to know other people's experiences.

Hi dear Dr Amy Manning, I am Dr Sheeba a consultant OBGYN from India (currently in UAE). All the time we were using washable surgical mops made of gauze to remove the blood from the cesarean field and it used to work very well for us, and always used to take the mops count before we start closure of the surgical wound. We were using washable drapes, mops and theatre gowns and was very happy with the practice in India.
