Tech in Surgery Prep / Unit 28 TSC 680 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Sharps Out First
Captions available
The idea
Before a tray leaves the room, disposable sharps such as blades and needles are removed and placed in the sharps container.
In practice
The federal standard forbids processing reusable sharps in a way that requires anyone to reach by hand into the container holding them.
Where people slip
The next person to handle the tray should never meet a hidden blade.
