gowning off of the back table

Published

Have you ever seen scrub people gown off the back table instead of gowning off the gown's wrapper opened up on a mayo or other separate table?

When the tech is getting relief... the gown is opened on the back table (near the edge)

But I assume you mean when 1st setting up the case, and yes I have seen it but it is considered bad technique.

In my OR, this is a big no-no. Even when the scrub is getting relieved, we still keep the gown table sterile.
