Draping of the surgical site (Figure 2.7) is advised to minimize contamination and use of impervious single‐use disposable drapes is considered best practice [68]. While there are limited studies investigating the use of incise films, noniodonated incise films have been shown to increase bacterial growth beneath the drape, thus increasing the risk for SSI [68]. Despite a lack of evidence for iodinated incise films to reduce the SSI rate, there have been no reports of increased bacterial growth beneath iodinated drapes, which makes an iodinated incise film a superior choice to a noniodinated incise film, if elected for use [30, 68]. When applying incise films, appropriate application without lifting the edges following application is recommended to reduce the risk of bacterial contamination. Implementation of an iodinated incise film, in addition to other protocol changes, lead to the reduction of SSI rate in one hospital following TPLO [64].
