Bellcross Woven Sterile Drape (Surgical — OT Use)

Pack Sizes Available

Sterile woven drapes: individually wrapped sterile packs (single unit per pack)

Product Description

The woven surgical drape occupies a specific and legitimate place in operating theatres despite the rise of disposable non-woven alternatives. In government hospitals, missionary hospitals, and facilities in price-sensitive markets across Asia, Africa, and South Asia, the reusable woven drape is not a cost-cutting compromise — it is the environmentally and economically rational choice when a laundry and sterilisation infrastructure is available. Bellcross Woven Sterile Drapes are manufactured from 100% cotton woven fabric. Cotton woven drapes can be laundered, inspected, and autoclaved repeatedly — a lifespan of 60 to 100 autoclave cycles is standard for good-quality woven surgical drapes before fabric integrity requires replacement. Over that service life, the cost per use of a woven drape is significantly below the equivalent disposable drape. The lifecycle carbon footprint is lower. The supply chain dependency on continuous single-use consumable procurement is reduced. The clinical function is identical to a disposable drape: the drape creates a sterile barrier between the surgical site and the non-sterile patient skin and environment. The fenestrated (holed) variant exposes only the surgical incision site through the opening while covering the surrounding field. Non-fenestrated flat drapes are used for instrument trolleys, procedure trays, and field extension. Bellcross produces woven drapes in the standard sizes used across OT tables: 75x75cm towel drapes, 150x150cm medium field drapes, and 150x200cm and 200x200cm large field drapes. Sterile individually-wrapped packs or bulk non-sterile packs for in-house autoclave sterilisation are both available. Bellcross Industries has been making woven and non-woven surgical products from its Mumbai facility since 1984. Four decades of experience producing for both the Indian domestic hospital market and the export market means understanding what different buyer markets need from this product category. Sara Wellness exports Bellcross woven surgical drapes to international buyers. Reusable format with individually sterile packs or bulk non-sterile supply for in-house autoclave sterilisation — specify the requirement at order.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Woven surgical drapes are made from interlaced fabric fibres — typically 100% cotton — producing a textile that is soft, durable, and reusable through multiple laundry and autoclave cycles. Non-woven disposable drapes are made from polymer fibres bonded without weaving, typically SMS (Spunbond-Meltblown-Spunbond) polypropylene, and are designed for single use. The key differences in clinical use are: woven cotton drapes can be autoclaved and reused for 60-100 cycles before replacement, making them more economical over their service life in facilities with autoclave infrastructure; non-woven disposable drapes provide consistently verified barrier performance on each new use without relying on laundry and sterilisation quality; non-woven barrier levels can be tested and certified to AAMI PB70 standards, whereas woven drapes rely on fabric quality and sterilisation protocol compliance for their barrier performance. Both are appropriate for OT use in different procurement contexts.

Yes. Woven cotton surgical drapes are specifically designed for autoclave sterilisation. 100% cotton withstands standard steam autoclave cycles at 121°C (gravity displacement) or 134°C (pre-vacuum/flash autoclave) without material degradation. After use, woven drapes are sent to hospital laundry for washing, then re-folded in the correct configuration for autoclave pack preparation, wrapped in sterilisation wrap or placed in autoclave pouches, and sterilised with appropriate cycle parameters and biological/chemical indicator monitoring. Sterile woven drape packs should be stored in a dry, closed storage area and used within the dated sterility assurance expiry of the sterilisation pack. Woven drapes that are wet-through intraoperatively — a phenomenon that can occur during copious irrigation procedures — may compromise the sterile barrier and should be reinforced with an additional drape layer.

Bellcross produces woven surgical drapes in the standard sizes used in operating theatre practice. Small towel drapes (75x75cm) are used for isolation of the immediate surgical incision area, instrument trays, and small field draping. Medium field drapes (150x150cm) are used for extremity procedures, minor operations, and combined with other drapes for abdominal or thoracic procedures. Large field drapes (150x200cm and 200x200cm) are used for full body coverage in abdominal, thoracic, orthopaedic, and cardiovascular procedures. Fenestrated (holed) drapes have a central aperture — sizes vary from small laparoscopic port apertures to large open surgical apertures — that exposes only the surgical site while covering the surrounding field. Both fenestrated and non-fenestrated formats are available from Bellcross.

A good-quality 100% cotton woven surgical drape can typically withstand 60 to 100 autoclave cycles before the fabric integrity requires replacement. The practical indicators that a woven drape should be retired from surgical use are: visible thinning or wear patterns in the weave (particularly in the critical zone areas); small holes or tears that compromise the barrier; evidence of inadequate barrier performance (fluid strike-through during surgery); and any area that has been repaired, as repairs do not restore full barrier integrity. Some institutions mark each autoclave cycle on the drape to track the total cycle count, retiring drapes at a pre-set maximum (typically 50-75 cycles). Regular laundry staff and sterile processing department inspection of drape condition before each re-sterilisation cycle is the standard quality management practice for reusable surgical drapes.

A fenestrated surgical drape has a pre-cut opening (fenestration or window) in its centre that, when the drape is positioned correctly over the patient, exposes only the surgical incision site or procedural area. The surrounding field is covered by the drape, creating the sterile boundary of the operative field. Fenestration sizes vary by surgical application: small circular apertures (5-10cm diameter) for endoscopy, laparoscopic port insertion, or small joint procedures; medium rectangular or oval fenestrations (10-20cm) for abdominal, thoracic, and orthopaedic procedures; custom sizes for specific speciality requirements such as caesarean section (a transverse fenestration at the Pfannenstiel incision position). Some fenestrated drapes have an additional adhesive adhesion ring around the fenestration (incision drapes or iodophor-impregnated adhesive drapes) that adheres to the skin surface to prevent drape migration during the procedure.

Bellcross Industries Pvt. Ltd. has been manufacturing surgical drapes as one of its core product categories since its establishment in 1984. The company produces both woven (cotton reusable) and non-woven (SMS disposable) surgical drapes from its Dahisar East, Mumbai manufacturing facility. Surgical drapes are manufactured to standard dimensions used in Indian and international OT practice, with sterile packing options for pre-sterilised supply and bulk non-sterile supply for facilities that autoclave drapes in-house. Bellcross is one of the most established names in the Indian disposable and woven surgical drape market, supplying hospitals, nursing homes, and export markets. GST 27AAGCB5445D1ZU. Sara Wellness works directly with Bellcross Industries for export supply of surgical drapes and OT linen to international buyers.

Air Bed FDA Certified (Alternating Pressure Bubble Mattress)

Air Bed FDA Certified (Alternating Pressure Bubble Mattress)

Nobody thinks about a mattress until the mattress becomes a problem. For most patients it never does. But for a person who is bedridden — whether from a stroke, a spinal injury, post-surgical recovery, or the long, slow immobility of advanced age — the mattress becomes everything. It is the surface against which the body presses, constantly, without relief. And without intervention, that constant pressure cuts off circulation to skin and underlying tissue, and a pressure ulcer develops. Quietly, painfully, and entirely preventably. The anti-decubitus alternating pressure bubble mattress — FDA and CE certified, medical-grade in construction — exists precisely to interrupt that cycle. The surface is made up of 130 individual air bubbles arranged in alternating groups. The electric pump inflates and deflates these groups on a timed cycle, typically every 6 to 10 minutes. As one set of bubbles inflates, the adjacent set deflates. The pressure points on the patient's body shift constantly and rhythmically, never allowing prolonged compression on any one area of skin. Blood flow continues. Tissue survives. Bedsores are prevented. The pump itself is built for continuous 24-hour operation. Noise levels sit below 35 dB on most variants — quiet enough for overnight use without disturbing the patient's sleep. The variable pressure dial on the pump allows caregivers to adjust firmness based on the patient's body weight, which directly affects how well the alternating cycle works. The mattress material is medical-grade PVC — waterproof, antibacterial, fire-resistant, and rated for patients up to 130 kg. The design fits standard hospital beds and home cots with adjustable side hangers. For healthcare equipment importers, medical retail chains, and hospital procurement managers — this is a product with strong, consistent demand. Ageing populations across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa are driving significant growth in home healthcare equipment. Every nursing home, every rehabilitation unit, every ICU in a country with a growing elderly population needs these mattresses. The procurement cycle is not one-off; facilities replace and expand their mattress stock regularly. Sara Wellness supplies medical air beds and home healthcare equipment to wholesale buyers across multiple international markets. We are not a retail channel. We work with importers and distributors who are building product lines for hospital group supply or retail healthcare chains. Our 15 years of export experience means we understand how medical equipment import documentation, certification requirements, and voltage specifications vary from market to market. We'll discuss all of it before the order is placed, not after. MOQs are negotiable. Bulk carton pricing improves considerably when orders combine air beds with related home healthcare equipment SKUs. If you are sourcing for the home healthcare or hospital supply market, this is a product worth adding to the conversation.

Bellcross N95 Particulate Filter Respirator and Surgical Mask

Bellcross N95 Particulate Filter Respirator and Surgical Mask

The N95 mask became a household conversation topic during a global pandemic. Before that, it was simply the thing the ICU nurse reached for before entering an isolation room, the thing the construction worker wore cutting drywall, the thing the tuberculosis ward always had in stock. The Bellcross N95 Particulate Filter Respirator is a product that sits at the intersection of both worlds — healthcare-grade protection from a manufacturer with four decades of disposable medical product manufacturing experience in India. N95 means exactly what it says. Ninety-five percent filtration efficiency for non-oil-based particulate matter when properly fitted to the face. This is the threshold established by NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) — the US regulatory authority for respiratory protection in occupational settings. An N95 respirator does not rely on loose fit or general aerosol reduction. It relies on a tight facial seal that forces all inhaled air through the filter medium, and the filter medium that captures at least 95% of particles 0.3 microns and larger (the most penetrating particle size for fibrous filter materials). The Bellcross version serves dual purpose as both a particulate respirator and a surgical mask — providing the fluid resistance layer that distinguishes a healthcare surgical N95 from a standard industrial N95. The fluid-resistant outer layer adds protection against splash and spatter of blood and body fluids, which the NIOSH-only industrial N95 standard does not address. For healthcare settings, this is the variant that makes clinical sense — particularly in operating theatres, procedure rooms, endoscopy units, and any clinical area where aerosol-generating procedures are performed. Bellcross Industries, established in 1984 in Mumbai, is one of India's largest manufacturers and exporters of disposable medical products. The range covers surgical drapes, OT gowns, HIV safety kits, ECG electrodes, and the full spectrum of single-use hospital consumables. The N95 respirator is manufactured to the same quality standards that have made Bellcross products trusted across export markets for over four decades. For PPE distributors and hospital supply importers sourcing respiratory protection from India — Bellcross N95 respirators offer authentic Indian manufacturing credentials, not re-labelled imports. Sara Wellness exports Bellcross disposable medical products to international wholesale buyers. Flexible MOQs, direct one-on-one dealings, and fifteen years of export experience behind every shipment.

Bellcross Disposable HIV Safety Kit (Complete PPE Set — Infection Control)
Hospital & Surgical Supplies

Bellcross Disposable HIV Safety Kit (Complete PPE Set — Infection Control)

The HIV safety kit was born from a straightforward clinical recognition: the risk of occupational blood-borne pathogen exposure is not random, and it is not limited to surgeons. It is nurses doing IV insertions. It is phlebotomists drawing blood on patients whose infection status is not yet confirmed. It is emergency department staff dealing with a trauma patient before serology results are back. The kit puts the complete barrier protection ensemble together in one pre-assembled, pre-sterilised pack that can be grabbed and donned in under two minutes. Bellcross Disposable HIV Safety Kits contain everything a healthcare worker needs to create a complete bodily fluid barrier before attending to a patient where blood-borne pathogen exposure risk exists. The gown is full length, full sleeves, with elastic cuffs and a PVC apron interlining that makes it fluid-impermeable rather than merely fluid-repellent. The goggles cover the periocular area — because blood splash to the conjunctiva is a documented HIV transmission route. The shoe covers close off the lower extremity pathway. The gloves close off the hand pathway. The biohazard waste bag is included because the kit itself, when removed, is clinical waste. Bellcross manufactures both sterile (ETO sterilised with indicator) and non-sterile kit variants. The sterile format is appropriate for procedural settings where the kit contents may enter or work adjacent to a sterile field. The non-sterile format is the more common clinical procurement choice for general barrier precaution use. Kits can be customised to buyer specification — the contents list above represents the standard Bellcross configuration, but institutional buyers who have different PPE standards, local regulatory requirements, or specific gown specifications can request modifications at order. Bellcross Industries Pvt. Ltd., established in 1984, manufactures every component of the HIV safety kit in-house from its Mumbai facility. This is not a kit assembled from third-party components — the gown, mask, cap, goggles, shoe covers, and bag are all Bellcross manufacture. The supply chain consistency this provides matters for institutional buyers who need to know what is inside every sealed pack. Sara Wellness exports Bellcross HIV safety kits to international wholesale and institutional buyers. Carton quantities, custom configurations, and fifteen years of export coordination on every order.
