Return Every Instrument to Its Place
Captions available
The idea
Instruments returned from the field go back to a consistent place on the Mayo stand or back table.
In practice
The person responsible for the count needs to know where every counted item is throughout the case; a fixed place for each instrument makes that possible.
Where people slip
An instrument left loose on the drapes can fall, be lost under them, or slip into the wound.
