Surgical Scrub Procedure: Five-Minute Scrub

Planning/Implementation:

Wet the hands and forearms. Apply 2 to 3 ml (6 drops) of antiseptic agent from the dispenser to the hands. Wash the hands and arms several times thoroughly to 2 inches (5cm) above the elbows. Rinse thoroughly under running water, with the hands upward, allowing water to drip from flexed elbows. Take a sterile brush or sponge (from a package or dispenser) and apply an antiseptic agent (if it is not impregnated in the brush). Scrub each individual finger, nails and hands, a half-minute for each hand. Hold the brush in one hand and both hands under running water, and clean under the fingernails with a metal disposable plastic nail cleaner. Discard the cleaner after use. Again scrub each individual finger, nails, and hands wit the brush a half minute for each hand, maintaining lather. Rinse the hands and brush, and discard the brush and sponge. Reapply the antimicrobial agent, and wash the hands and arms with friction to the elbow for 3 minutes. Intersperse the fingers to cleanse between them.  Rinse the arms and hands as before.
