Hands-Free Passing
Captions available
The idea
Hands-free passing, also called the neutral zone technique, means sharps are set down in an agreed spot and picked up from it, never passed hand to hand.
In practice
Federal workplace guidance lists a no-pass zone among surgical-suite work practice controls, and the textbook notes it reduces sharps injuries.
Where people slip
Agree on the zone before the case starts.
