Carlo Vanetti MD, Milan, Italy, demonstrates how the use of a clear adhesive drape, normally used for spinal anaesthesia, can create a "tent" that can insulate the surgeon and assistant from the ultrasound spray during phacoemulsification. The drape is attached to the microscope and provides a safe space in which to work. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3v60hJ7ivQ&feature=youtu.be[/embed]
