Before laying a sterile table, it is necessary to check the marking of the bix, as well as its sterility. Before starting work, it must be tightly closed and tied. You need to open the sterilization box using the pedal on the stand or assistant. In each bix, before laying the material, a napkin is laid, opening which, you can close the edges of the bix. Before setting the table, it must be wiped with a disinfectant solution, for example, a 1% solution of chloramine, twice. Having taken out a sterile sheet, it needs to be developed in two layers and thrown on the table surface. After you should get the second sheet, also unfold in two layers and throw on the first. The edges of the sheet that hang from the table are non-sterile. They should hang thirty centimeters on each side.
The top sheet should be folded with an accordion, the last layer of the inner side should be outside. Now you can begin to place the sterile instruments on the table. On the edges of the upper sterile sheet, hoes are hung with which it can be opened.
A sterile table is laid for the whole working day, the time and date of its laying are fixed on a piece of paper, which should be attached to the caps. The maximum sterility period of the desktop is six hours. In order for it to remain sterile throughout the entire working day, you should not look into it without special need. After the tool is removed, the table should be set and returned to its original appearance.
