The idea
A break in sterile technique is any event that lets an unsterile person, item or surface contaminate the sterile field.
In practice
Breaks happen even on skilled teams, which is why constant vigilance and immediate correction are part of keeping a field sterile.
Where people slip
The goal is not a team that never has breaks, but a team that never leaves one uncorrected.
