Why Draping CT Equipment Matters
Draping non-sterile imaging equipment plays an important role in maintaining a safe procedural environment. Covering at-risk components with sterile barriers aligns with perioperative sterile-technique guidance and helps reduce airborne contamination to the sterile field.1
Imaging departments face unique infection-prevention challenges. Equipment is mobile, repositioned frequently, and often shared between rooms. Current infection-control reviews highlight the importance of consistent barrier practices specifically adapted for medical imaging environments.2
In interventional CT and radiology, researchers further emphasize the need to cover components such as image intensifiers, gantry peripherals, and control consoles located near the sterile field. Doing so minimizes contamination risks while preserving procedural sterility.3
Finally, latex sensitivity continues to be a practical concern in healthcare. Selecting latex-free drapes supports compatibility for both staff and patients, reinforcing safety throughout the workflow.4
Stable Barrier for High-Throughput CT Suites
Clear, latex-free drapes create a consistent barrier at the gantry while preserving image visibility. Fast, single-tech application helps keep trauma and interventional workflows moving without compromising protection around the bore.

Clinical Impact
CT suites see high patient throughput, and multiple studies show that radiology-room touch surfaces— including consoles and gantry-adjacent equipment—can harbor clinically relevant organisms. Using purpose-designed sterile drapes provides a physical barrier that limits contact transfer and splash to non-sterile components during positioning or image-guided procedures, while helping maintain a protected zone around the field. [1][2]
Because surgical site infections remain a nationally tracked burden, barrier practices that reduce environmental bioburden are a practical, low-cost adjunct alongside cleaning and hand-hygiene protocols in imaging environments that support sterile procedures. [3]
Materials matter too: latex-free drapes avoid exposure for sensitized patients and staff and align with occupational guidance to minimize latex allergen contact in healthcare settings. [4]
