AB The  surgical  field  is  the  sterile  field  that  is  set  up  by  the  scrub  tech  and  consists  of  the  draped  patient,  the  back  table,  and  any  equipment  that  is  draped  out,  such  as  microscopes,  slush  machines,  and  c-arms.  The  scrub  tech  will  open  the  field,  supplies,  and  instruments  and  then  scrub  in.  Once  they  are  scrubbed  they  will  self-gown  and  glove  and  begin  the  setup  process  (Figure  12.1).  The  goal  is  to  create  and  maintain  a  sterile  environment  for  the  patient.
