In the operating room, special shoes called “surgical shoes” or “operating room shoes” are used, which are also called “shoe covers”. These shoes are designed for the following reasons:
1. Hygiene and sterility: Operating room shoes are usually made of disposable or washable materials to ensure that they are sterile and minimize the risk of infection.
2. Comfort and performance: These shoes are designed to provide comfort and support for medical staff during long surgeries. They are usually lightweight and have soft, flexible soles.
3. Fluid resistance: Operating room shoes are made to be resistant to fluids and chemicals so that the shoes are not damaged if fluids are spilled during surgery.
4. Fit and Safety: They are designed to be easy to put on while preventing slippage to ensure the safety of medical staff in the operating room environment.
These shoes are usually manufactured in light colors and with a simple design to make it easier to clean and identify any contamination. Wearing the right shoes in the operating room is an important part of health and safety protocols in surgeries.
