The sterile table must have ≥4 layers of drapes, with the surrounding area hanging 30cm below the edge of the table. Once the sterile drape is soaked, it should be replaced or covered with additional sterile drape immediately to prevent bacteria from entering the incision through the moist sterile drape. Hospitals where conditions permit, should add a layer of waterproof sterile towels to the sterile table to keep the sterile table from being soaked by water during use.

There are two ways to establish a sterile table. One is to directly use the wrapping cloth of the sterile instrument package to establish a sterile table; the other is to use sterile dressings to re-cover it to establish a sterile table. The former is the most commonly used, economical, simplest and fastest method in clinical practice. It not only occupies a small area when it is started, but also saves materials. If the latter is used to lay the sterile table, use two sterile holding forceps to clamp the two ends of the double-layer wrapping cloth in the already opened sterile dressing, shake it open, and then spread it on the instrument cart table from far to near.
