An incise drape positionable across an area of a patient upon which a surgical procedure is to be performed and an associated method of positioning the drape across the patient utilizes a thin flexible transparent sheet of plastic material having two side faces, and the thin flexible transparent sheet is provided with a pre-formed incision which extends between the two side faces of the sheet and which has slit portions which facilitate the formation of an opening in the sheet. A strip of removable material is adhesively secured to one side face of the sheet for maintaining the opposing edges of the incision together until the drape is placed across the patient for use. In addition, sighting indicia is printed upon the strip of material to facilitate the visual alignment of the center of the pre-formed incision with the area of the patient upon which the surgical procedure is to be performed.
