Summary
What really happens after your case cart leaves the OR? To find out, we're diving into decontam to discover the critical next step in the instrument reprocessing lifecycle. From point-of-use treatment to manual and mechanical cleaning, this episode unpacks what it actually takes to get instruments safe, clean, and ready for the next patient. Joined by Julie Gorog, OR nurse and Clinical Education Consultant with Advanced Sterilization Products , we explore why cleaning is the most crucial step in reprocessing, how biofilm forms faster than you think, and what OR teams can do to set sterile processing up for success. Because what happens after the case directly impacts the next one. So tune in to learn more! #operatingroom #ornurse #scrubtech #sterileprocessing
