I'm now a teacher for a Surgical Technology Program and the updated AST Guidelines for Scrubbing are as follows: 1. You take the pick from the brush package and pick your fingernails under the water 2. Take the brush & using the bristle side - scrub your fingernails for 30 seconds and then repeat on the other hand 3. Flip the brush over to the sponge side and starting with your fingers (4 planes on each finger) scrub each place 10 strokes moving around each finger (back & forth = 1 stroke) 4. After the fingers, you scrub your palm 10 strokes. Move to the back of your hand for 10 strokes 5. Then you divide your arm into 2 sections (4 planes for each section) scrub each plane for 10 strokes 6. Then move to 2 inches above your elbow (4 planes, each 10 strokes) REPEAT on the other hand and arm. You are suppose to scrub one whole side before moving to the other and if you happen to scrub over a section that has already been scrubbed, you are suppose to start over at the fingers because you contaminated yourself.
