Tray Command - At Arm's Length: The Case for Keeping Sterile Instruments Close

When seconds matter, where your instruments are stored can make all the difference. On this episode of Beyond Clean's "Tray Command," Bobby Parker and guest co-host Angela Benson sit down with OR Nurse and First Case Podcast co-host Melanie Perry for a candid look at what happens when critical instruments are stored too far from the OR. From sub-sterile setups and backup trays to the push for faster turnovers, Melanie shares how proximity, preparation, and teamwork between SPD and the OR can make or break a case. Tune in today for a conversation that brings the focus back to what really matters—communication, coordination, and connection between surgical teams—to keep every case moving safely and efficiently!
