To prevent patients from being exposed to harmful bacteria during medical procedures, operating rooms must always be kept sterile. Infection can occur if these bacteria are exposed during a medical procedure. As a result, when scrubbing, surgeons and other members of the surgical team must follow special instructions (known as aseptic technique). This process necessitates some planning, close attention to detail during the scrubbing process, and a unique drying method.The goal of this blog is to help you organize your cleaning process before entering the operating room so that you can be more prepared.

Step 1:Enter the designated changing room.

Regardless of the facility in which you operate, there must be a designated locker room to reduce the possibility of contamination. This is where you will change your civilian clothes and place all jewelry, including watches, bracelets, and rings, in a locker. After the procedure, you will return to wash up and change into your street clothes.

Step 2:Tie your hair up and cover your hair.

If your hair is long or medium length. Tie your hair back and avoid letting it fall in your face. Cover your sideburns and/or facial hair with a Surgical Head Cover or hood. Without your knowledge, hair, dandruff, and scaly cells can fall out of the scalp. As a result, covering one's head is critical for patient safety.

Step 3:Put your Surgical Mask and scrubs on.

Put on a mask to ensure that your nose and mouth are completely covered with fabric. Each strand should be tied behind your head. It also keeps facial hair away from your skin, which can carry dandruff or contaminate scaly cells. When you scrub in, make sure you're wearing a clean scrub. Suits should be made up of a shirt and pants. Put on your shirt first. If you're wearing a sweatshirt, bra, or tank top, make sure it completely covers it. Even your scrub shirt's collar and straps should not be visible through the collar. Put on your shirt, then your scrub pants. Tuck the end of your shirt into your waistband to keep skin and rolling from falling into the sterile area.

Step 4:Scrubbing Your Hands and Arms

Remove a new Surgical Scrub Brush from its packaging. Adjust the water temperature so that it is neither too cold nor too hot. Maintain the surgical gown's dryness. During the scrubbing process, make certain that no water is splashed on it. You run the risk of contamination if your gown gets wet.

Clean the area beneath the nail. Take the nail file out of the brush package. Submerge the other hand in water. Allow water to flow between your fingertips and nails as you use the file to remove dirt. Repeat the process on both hands with each finger. Make certain that all dirt and debris have been removed.

Wash your hands. For this step, use chlorhexidine or iodine. To remove germs, scrub the front and back of your hands. Perform this for two minutes. Do 20 circular strokes on each side of your hand if you're counting strokes.

Scrub your forearm. Move your hand in one direction, from the bottom of your hand to your elbow. 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) above the elbow, rinse. Perform this for one minute. Continue to elevate your hands to keep contaminated soap from touching your clean hands. Throughout the process, keep your hands above your arms. This will keep contaminated soap and bacteria off your hands. If contaminated soap comes into contact with your hands, you must repeat the process. Scrub 20 times on each side of the forearm for the counting stroke method.

Finally, before entering the operating room, you must dry your hands. When you enter the operating room, you will use aseptic technique to thoroughly dry your hands and arms. Before putting on a sterile gown, always dry your hands and arms.
