Replacing What Was Contaminated

Captions available

The idea

Contaminated items are removed from the field and replaced with sterile ones; they are never wiped off and reused.

In practice

Spare sterile gloves and supplies are kept available so replacements can be made quickly.

Where people slip

Anything the contaminated item touched after the break is treated as contaminated too.
