Point-of-Use Care Starts on the Field

The idea
Instrument cleaning begins in the operating room, during and right after the case, at the point of use.
In practice
Blood and tissue are wiped from instruments as the case goes on, because soil that dries onto an instrument is much harder to remove.
Where people slip
Cleaning and decontamination should begin as soon as possible after items are used.
