  1. Sterilization of wood in the OR?

    We use wire off of those spools as well, but we cut lengths of it off and peel pack it. Maybe you could do that as well?
  2. Sandwhich hand draping?

  10. Can you elaborate a little???
  11. Warning about duraprep

    Thats really weird. If you look at the way a Duraprep is put together you can see how it's possible, but you would think it would be one in a million.
  12. Teensie weensie biopsy specimens...

    There's your problem right there, don't let anyone handle the specimen once it's off the field except you. Everything else your doing sounds fine.
  13. Correct way of prepping a Leg??

    Me to, except I don't always start at the incision again to work down.
  14. Can you explain this in a little more detail?. If it can happen with stacking you would think even handling the items could cause this.
  15. I contacted AAMI and they said they were unable to answer my question but wanted to sell me a $200 book with the answer. I guess I'll keep looking.
