Their duties include preparing and sterilizing instruments, ensuring a sterile environment, passing instruments during surgeries, and helping with patient care before and after procedures.

Attention to detail, teamwork, and effective communication are vital soft skills for ensuring patient safety and smooth surgical operations. These competencies are crucial for maintaining a sterile environment, supporting surgeons efficiently, and delivering optimal patient care during procedures.
