We can’t perform an operation or an invasive procedure if we don’t have sterile instruments. It almost goes without saying, but sterility is fundamental to what we do in the operating room. Confirming that our instruments and trays are sterile is of paramount importance every time we set up for a case. Helping us discuss this important issue today is Hank Balch, Founder and President of Beyond Clean. Tune in as Hank describes the overlap between the sterile processing department (SPD) and the operating room, and listen as he shares what those of us in the OR can learn from the sterility experts in SPD.
