To ensure a sterile operating field, a sterile disposable paper sheet or drape must be used. Drapes must be moisture resistant. The top surface of the drape is considered a sterile area and edges are not. Only sterile items may be placed on the sterile field. See Appendix B at the end of this article for a list of approved environmental cleaning solutions.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Source:</b> 22 SDR 16, effective August 14, 1995.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>General Authority:</b>SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=34-1-17">34-1-17(8).</A></p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Law Implemented:</b>SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=9-34-17">9-34-17</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=34-1-17">34-1-17(8).</A></p> </div> </body> </html>
