Tech in Surgery Prep / Unit 7   TSC 165 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Handling Sterile Stock

Captions available

The idea

After sterilization, sterile items are handled with aseptic technique and as little as possible.

In practice

Closed or covered cabinets are ideal, though open shelving may be used; stock is moved gently, never crushed, stacked roughly or squeezed into full shelves.

Where people slip

Each extra handling raises the chance of a hidden tear or puncture.
