I repair ours - it's kind of hard to describe how I do it - but I create a new fenestration on the drape with a new piece of fabric that's big enough to also cover some holes. (It only works if the holes are near to the middle of the drape.

We have all our old drapes made into drill bags and saw bags by a client of ours. That way the material never goes to waste and we get what we want made to order

on that note due to the location of the holes. you would most probably better off ordering new ones. and possibly donating these damaged ones to the large animal department.

Unfortunately these are fenestrated drapes with the holes quite near the central aperture so cutting them down won't work, and apparently stitching is strongly frowned on as the holes the stitching leaves behind are plenty big enough for bacteria to travel through, but thank you!

all my previous head nurse would do was take it home and stitch over the small holes. however if they were big enough to require a patch. they would be converted to small hole drapes. that could be used for cat spays. small lump removals or eye operations.
