The Assistant Secures the Back
Captions available
The idea
The back of a sterile gown cannot be tied by the person wearing it, so an assistant secures it.
In practice
The circulating nurse, or another unscrubbed assistant, fastens the back of the gown, touching only the parts that are not sterile.
Where people slip
Facility gowns differ in how they close, so follow the procedure for the gowns your facility uses.
