kinda a strange thing but having a hard time finding those instrument soaking trays that are used in the office…anyone have a good source /link?
Some do, some don’t.Do the VAs still have disposable single-use nail nippers from Pakistan?
Damn, that's so wasteful. The staggering amount of single use crap that gets disposed in the medical field is mind boggling.Do the VAs still have disposable single-use nail nippers from Pakistan?
Not to mention they really suck to use.Damn, that's so wasteful. The staggering amount of single use crap that gets disposed in the medical field is mind boggling.
Same. We autoclave all of our instruments after each use. Yucky.These things always sketched me out when I was a student.
There is no way its actually clean. I wouldnt let someone come after me with a resused #15 blade coming out of one of these trays (Yes... Ive seen it done).
Yep, it doesn't take too much time. We do a hybrid. I'm not against the germicide tray, but staff training is key... some stuff is sterile-ish procedure (lesion excis, ingrown, wound care, suture remove, etc), some is not (nail care, etc). Even the nail nips or blade handles or bandage scissors or Dremel bits that very seldom contact any fluids chould still be in the autoclave every use, or at least whenever they do contact or may have contacted fluids... bare minimum autoclave em daily.Same. We autoclave all of our instruments after each use. Yucky.
My office has used it forever - if I find out its $70 a bottle I'm going to scream.My partner uses 3 Wea... honestly I think its a joke 🤷🏻♂️
No no my friend. That was some other profession. That's not us now and remember - we never say its name.Our profession built its success atop a mountain of keratin
I’m a “Foot and Ankle Surgeon” bro, not a “Podiatrist”. 👊🏻🥴No no my friend. That was some other profession. That's not us now and remember - we never say its name.
We should ask the people who run SDN to change the podiatrist badge to 'Foot and Ankle Surgeon".I’m a “Foot and Ankle Surgeon” bro, not a “Podiatrist”. 👊🏻🥴

Is it better to apply the lotion going from top to bottom or from bottom to top?
