Step
1.
Fill each of the 3 basins with 2 liters of sterile
saline. The first two basins are rinse basins;
the third is optional and can be used as a holding
basin. The circulating nurse opens the outer
Tyvek pouch.
Step
2.
Scrub nurse removes the inner foil pouch using
aseptic technique. Open the foil pouch using
sterile scissors by cutting along the top. Make
sure the contents have settled to the bottom
to avoid cutting the product.
Step
3.
Gently remove the INTEGRA® Template from the
foil pouch with gloved hands (do not use instruments),
pour off the excess isopropyl alcohol, and place
silicone side up in the first rinse basin.
Step
4.
Rinse each sheet for a minimum of 5-10 minutes
in each of the first two basins.
Step
5.
Change saline after every 1-2 sheets, or as
needed. The detectable odor of alcohol should
subside when finished rinsing.
