Abstract

A microscope drape fabricated from a very thin, transparent heat-resistant plastic film which is adapted to completely house an operating microscope including its support arms, is provided with an improved means for securing the tubular ocular housing extension of the drape to the oculars of the microscope which consists of a thin malleable strip attached to the ocular housing which permits the ocular housing to be secured to the microscope by crimping and folding over the metal strip after positioning the ocular housing on an ocular of a microscope.
