This is what actually keeps you safe before surgery🧼 Before entering the operating theatre, surgical teams carefully disinfect their hands and forearms to reduce microorganisms before putting on sterile gloves. The process follows a structured technique using approved antimicrobial soap or an alcohol based surgical hand preparation, with particular attention paid to the fingers, nails, hands, and forearms. The exact technique and duration can vary depending on the product and hospital protocol, it's not always a fixed five or six minute routine like a lot of people assume. Alongside sterile gloves, gowns, instruments, and strict operating room procedures, surgical hand preparation is an essential part of infection prevention, helping minimize the chance of harmful microorganisms reaching the patient during surgery🩺 It's not flashy, but it's one of the most important steps in the entire surgical process🌴 ✅Follow @drdavidabbasi for More Daily Medical Content & Health Tips!😷Schedule a consultation in Delray Beach!
