A Wet Back Table
Captions available
The idea
A sterile back table that becomes wet through its cover is considered contaminated where the moisture reaches.
In practice
Moisture carries microbes from the unsterile surface beneath; spilled solutions on the field are a common cause.
Where people slip
Pour slowly and from the side, and keep wet items in basins, not loose on the drape.
