Health
I know that technically ‘sterile’ is from the waist up. But on the other hand you can’t walk into an OR with jeans on. So I assumed you would be non-sterile then, but I guess I’m wrong.
I work post-op in an ambulatory care center and we are not allowed to even walk into the post-op area unless we have our scrubs on, our hair covered (with the type used in the food industry), and booties on top of our shoes.
BTW, why would you not be able to scrub out and re-scrub back in?
