They assist in surgical procedures by preparing instruments, maintaining a sterile environment, and supporting the surgeon during operations.

Daily responsibilities include preparing operating rooms, assisting during procedures, and ensuring the highest standards of sterilization and readiness. The work environment is generally fast-paced and demands flexibility, as surgeries can vary daily. This role provides a unique opportunity to collaborate closely with professionals in a focused and supportive setting.
