This is a site for Surgical Tech and Instrument Tech students past, present, and future, and surgical techs/instrument techs in the field. We express concerns that students have, or things that students want to know. We want to encourage students to go to the message board if you have questions, want to speak on something, or just want to chat with other students, that is the place to go, and this is the place to be. The Future Tech message board is always in effect! Also Check out the "student to student"
message for new students. Good Luck!
Surgical Technologists....
Surgical technologists are also called surgical technicians or operating room technicians. Surgical Technicians assist in preparing operating rooms for surgery. Surgical Technicians are responsible for having surgical instruments, sterile bandages and linens, needed fluids, and other equipment ready for the operation. Surgical Technicians also assist doctors by handing them needed instruments during surgery and for counting sponges and needles before and after the operation. Surgical Technicians deliver specimens to hospital laboratories for analysis, and after operations they take patients to the recovery room.
