Troubleshooting

If the cover will not move forward – STOP PUSHING it!

of the sterile field. Use your foot to stabilize the Mayo stand


Dressing the Mayo Stand

Place one sterile towel (or two depending on procedure or preference) over the top of the Mayo stand.

Place one rolled towel in the desired position (Use the A POSitive CARE approach to determine the location of the towel.)


Organization of the Sterile Field

Conserve time and motion Keep your hands over the back table Place each item in its final destination

the FIRST time you touch it and DON’T touch it again!


Work in one small area at a time Step away only to retrieve additional items

and then return to small working area Place items in the same arrangement for

every case Place items for easy counting
