The most common thing on the surgical table is this green cloth with open holes, and I have to say that it has saved countless people.

Regardless of the size of the operation, the doctor will use it to determine the location of the operation before the knife, until after the operation, it will be removed.

Science
This cloth is called sterile cloth, its main role is to ensure that the surgical process, there can be a stable sterile environment.

We all know that surgery is most afraid of wound infection, and surgery requires a completely sterile environment. Before surgery, doctors and nurses, instruments, operating rooms, etc., are subjected to strict sterilization treatment.

At this point, what may infect the patient's wound with bacteria during surgery is the contact with the patient's skin.

In this case, covering the rest of the patient, leaving only the surgical area, can reduce the probability of infection.

On the other hand, not all surgeries are performed with general anesthesia on the patient. Covering the surgical area with a cloth to keep the patient out of sight also helps the doctor to effectively control the patient's emotions when moving the knife.

In addition, the green isolation cloth helps to relieve the doctor's eye and mental fatigue and enhance the recognition of the surgery.
