A sterilizable, lightweight reflective surgical drape which is effective in reducing the rate of heat loss in human patients and may be used to provide a sterile surgical environment and an effective barrier to bacterial migration throughout a surgical procedure. The drape has non-conductive metallized plastic sheeting and at least one of a layer of thermoplastic material and a layer of flexible non-woven sterilizable material. In a preferred embodiment, the drape of the present invention has a non-conductive first layer of aluminum and a second layer of a thermoplastic material. An optional third layer of a thermoplastic material is attached to the non-conductive first layer of aluminum. In another preferred embodiment, the drape of the present invention has a non-conductive first layer of aluminum and a second layer of flexible non-woven sterilizable material. An optional third layer of flexible non-woven sterilizable material is attached to the non-conductive first layer of aluminum.
