How To Wear a Surgical Gown Correctly?

There are many types of nurse uniforms. Different departments wear different nurse uniforms, and operating rooms also have their own specific surgical uniforms. There are many things that doctors who perform surgeries need to pay attention to when wearing and working.

The work in the operating room is a very cautious one. In order to ensure the smooth operation, doctors and nurses must wear specific surgical clothes before entering the operation. What are the things that should be paid attention to in the operating room?

1. Use sterile forceps to open the sterile package of the disposable surgical gown.

2. Find a wider space in the operating room to prevent exposure to pollutants when wearing surgical gowns.

3. Select the size of sterile gloves according to the label.

[How to operate]

(1) After disinfecting the arms, take out the disposable surgical gowns (hands must not touch the surgical gown underneath), lift both ends of the collar with both hands, look away from the chest, operating table and other personnel, recognize the sterile side of the surgical gown, and shake it open Clothes, with the wrong side facing you.

(2) Throw the surgical gown lightly into the air, insert both arms into the sleeves, and extend slightly forward.

(3) The circulating nurse will assist in pulling open the two corners of the collar and fastening the back belt, and the wearer will extend his hands forward and stretch out his sleeves. (You can cross your arms and push the sleeves to your wrists, or insert your hands into the inside of the cuffs of the surgical gown on the other side, and push the sleeves from your palms to your wrists to avoid touching the outside of the surgical gown with your hands).

(4) After putting on the surgical gown, bend down slightly so that the belt is suspended in the air (avoid fingers touching the surgical gown) (the belt does not cross). The correct way to wear disposable surgical gown is to make the surgical gown belt suitable for the traveling nurse.

(5) The circulating nurse fastens the belt from behind (avoiding contact with the wearer’s fingers) and lifts the middle part of the belt with crossed hands.

Everyone knows that surgical gowns must be worn by doctors during surgery. Wearing surgical gowns correctly is very important. Let’s study it together.

First, let’s understand why we need to wear surgical gowns. We must know that bacteria are present in every corner of our lives. Although doctors must wash their hands carefully before surgery, this does not guarantee the required sterile environment, and bacteria deep into the skin cannot be guaranteed. They will also multiply rapidly during surgery, so be sure to wear surgical gowns and sterile gloves before performing surgery.

When putting on the surgical gown, lift the collar with both hands, stay away from the operating table and other personnel, and make sure the sterile side of the surgical gown is facing you. Gently throw the surgical gown into the air and put both arms into the sleeves. The belt on the back of the gown is tied by the nurse. After completing this step, the dresser bends slightly, hangs the belt in the air, and lifts the belt. The middle part of the surgical gown is removed and the belt is handed to the nurse. During the entire process, the surgical gown must not come into contact to avoid contamination.
