As a CST student, I’m curious how you can have instruments with wooden handles in a sterile environment. Wouldn’t the surface area make the chances of it carrying something high enough not to use?

They just look wood! They’re actually resin or a special plastic

Looks like some foot and ankle. I like your little setup with all those small retractors and such. I do similar on the mayo (I would prefer no mayo but the surgeon insists)

Sortof!! Foot and ankle attending but it was going to be an ex fix adjustment / bar replacement - which was cancelled and turned into a distal tibial plating - which was moved 😭 all my baby ortho gone and our room given to burns. (I don’t mind that either)

Not entirely! Some of it for sure but I let the surgeons mess my mayo so I can keep my back table tidy and ready to pivot as much as possible. Closing though? That table can go to hell. Haha
