The idea
Once gowned and gloved, the scrub person keeps the hands above the waist and within sight at all times.
In practice
Hands that fall below the waist are considered contaminated; resting hands are kept in front of the body at or above waist level.
Where people slip
If gloved hands drop below the waist, they are no longer considered sterile, and facility procedure decides the fix.
