A surgical drape for use during surgery of a patient includes a sheet that is configured for covering at least a portion of the patient during surgery. At least one instrument holder strap is attached to a front surface of the drape, the strap having a first end affixed to the drape, an opposite releasable attachment end, and an elastomeric section between the affixed end and the attachment end such that the strap can be stretched to attach surgical instruments to various locations on the drape.
