    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmic Surgery
    • Surgical Instrumentation
    • Microscopy

    Background:

    • Maintaining microscope sterility in ophthalmic microsurgery is crucial.
    • Current methods like handle protectors and full drapes have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a simple, effective, and easily attachable sterile drape system for operating microscopes.
    • To offer an alternative that overcomes the disadvantages of existing sterility solutions.

    Main Methods:

    • A two-piece instrument: a metal bracket and a rigid plastic sterilizable portion.
    • The bracket mounts in the microscope's accessory shoe; the plastic part attaches from below with screws.
    • No microscope modification is required.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • The assembly attaches in under 15 seconds.
    • Provides complete sterility protection for the operative field.
    • Offers a sterile surface for microscope manipulation without hindering accessories.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented sterile drape system is a practical and efficient solution for ophthalmic microsurgery.
    • It enhances sterility and usability compared to conventional methods.
