Abstract
Operating in coronavirus disease times has become a challenge as it risks the frontline task force. Till now, no definitive and clear-cut guidelines for reducing aerosol generating procedures using the orthopedic power tools have been issued by the World Health Organization. We describe a technique to reduce aerosol generation in orthopedic procedures especially during drilling while inserting a screw or pin. We tooled a piece of polycarbonate plastic glass into a cup-shaped configuration and made two working portals, one through which a drill bit/sleeve could be advanced and the other through which a suction catheter could be inserted to suck out the dangerous fumes while drilling.
