Zusammenfassung:A reinforcing incision drape for tissue, such as fragile tissue, includes an absorbable surgical mesh having top and bottom major surfaces. The absorbable surgical mesh has a stitching zone and first and second reinforcing zones that bound opposite sides of the stitching zone. The stitching zone is less porous and the first and second reinforcing zones are more porous than the stitching zone. A releasable liner covers the top major surface of the absorbable surgical mesh within the stitching zone of the absorbable surgical mesh. A weaker adhesive, such as a pressure sensitive adhesive, covers the bottom major surface of the surgical mesh within the centrally located stitching zone of the absorbable surgical mesh, and a stronger adhesive, such as cyanoacrylite, covers the first and second reinforcing zones of the absorbable surgical mesh.
