Tech in Surgery Prep / Unit 28   TSC 691 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Linen and Trash

Captions available

The idea

Contaminated linen is handled as little as possible, with minimal shaking, and is bagged where it was used, without being sorted or rinsed.

In practice

Wet linen goes in bags that prevent leakage; regulated waste goes in closable, leakproof, labelled containers.

Where people slip

Staff who handle contaminated linen wear gloves and other protective equipment.
