1-21. INSTRUMENTS AND SUPPLIES

 

Check the surgeon's card carefully, and make sure that all instruments and equipment are assembled. The operating microscope, suctioning equipment, and drill are often required. All equipment must be in working order. Since the operating microscope is used in such close proximity to the surgical wound, it is draped with disposable microscope drapes before use. Electric cautery equipment is also sometimes needed.
