Description

"You can't cover your back table!" or can you? 🤔

Join Melanie Perry and Chris Blevins as they kick off a brand-new season of First Case by busting this long-standing myth. They'll dive into when covering a back table is appropriate, how to do it safely, and why understanding the why behind the practice matters for every surgical team.
