Surgical Tech Travel – American Traveler – Greenville, NC

Surgical technicians form an important part of the surgical care team. They are responsible for patient transfers to and from the OR, situating patients on the operating table, prepping them for surgery, and assisting the physician during surgery. Additionally, CSTs are trained in aseptic technique and are tasked with cleaning and sterilizing the OR and surgical instruments. Some operating room technicians may even manage the surgical supply inventory and place orders to ensure that surgeons have all necessary tools and materials. CSTs can choose to specialize in particular case types such as cardiovascular, orthopedic, or neurological surgeries and can select their clinical setting, as they are employable in acute care hospitals and outpatient surgery centers.
