Thread: Instrumentador

Necesito traducir Instrumentador quirúrgico, pero no hay una palabra en inglés para ese puesto.
Yo sé que nurse no es, ya que nurse es enfermero y ellos no hacen ese trabajo.
Gracias!

Hi Verónica,

you will find this explanation on the internet:

"Scrub nurse:
The scrub nurse works directly with the surgeon within the sterile field passing instruments, sponges, and other items needed during the surgical procedure. The sterile field is the area closely surrounding the OR table, and the Mayo stand, or instrument tray. Surgical team members who work within the sterile field have scrubbed their hands and arms with special disinfecting soap and wear surgical gowns, caps, eyewear, gloves, and shoe covers."

Cheers

Jack

Great thanks!

Why not try "Surgical instrument assistant or server"

Also, there are Scrub Techs who are not nurses but serve the same function as the scrub "nurse". According to Wikipedia, they are also called Surgical Technologists.
