title: Cost-Free Laser Caging in the Operating Room.
abstract: We have assembled a three-step process for securing and presetting the functional length of the laser fiber to be used for ureteroscopic lithotripsy. For this process, three components are required: a sterile piece of adhesive, an empty guidewire casing with a pre-attached Luer-Lok™ fitting, and a SureSeal®adapter. The only additional piece of equipment for this arrangement not routinely used during ureteroscopy is the sterile adhesive strip.
