What do Surgical Specialists/Technologists do?
Surgical technologists prepare patients and operating rooms for surgery, assist surgeons by passing instruments and sterile supplies during procedures, and help with post-operative tasks like closing wounds and cleaning the OR.
They ensure a sterile environment, anticipate the surgeon’s needs, and maintain equipment to facilitate smooth surgical operations.
Before Surgery
Prepare the OR: Surgical technologists set up the operating room, making sure it is sterile and has all the necessary equipment, instruments, and supplies.
Sterilize equipment: They sterilize and test medical equipment to ensure it is functioning correctly and ready for use.
Prepare the patient: They disinfect the patient’s incision site, dress them in surgical gowns, and position them on the operating table.
During Surgery
Assist the surgeon: They act as an extra pair of hands for the surgeon, handing them instruments and other sterile supplies as needed.
Manage equipment: They monitor and help maintain surgical equipment to ensure it remains in optimal working condition.
Hold retractors: Depending on the procedure, they may hold surgical retractors or hold a patient’s organs in place.
Maintain sterility: A critical role is to maintain a sterile environment to prevent patient infection.
Count supplies: They meticulously count instruments and supplies to ensure that no foreign objects are left inside the patient after surgery.
After Surgery
Apply dressings: They help apply dressings to the patient’s wounds.
Transfer the patient: They assist in transferring the patient to the recovery room.
Clean and restock: They clean the operating room and restock it with necessary supplies for future procedures.
