Clinical Simulation
Surgical Attire & Hand Antisepsis
About This Course
What you'll experience
Surgical hand antisepsis is a routine process carried out before undertaking any invasive procedure. The purpose of the hand antisepsis procedure is to destroy, as well as, prevent the growth of micro-organisms in order to ensure a safe and hygienic surgical procedure. This VR simulation is designed to provide learners practice in performing surgical hand antisepsis and wearing personal protective equipment (PPE).
Learning Objectives
- Wearing PPE before surgical scrubbing
- Cleaning nails and fingers following defined steps
- Scrubbing hands and arms systematically
- Rinsing and dripping without allowing contamination
References
- This module has been developed in accordance with Association of Surgical Technologists (AST) guidelines.

Core Skills Training
Core Skill
Donning Surgical Attire
Before donning the surgical attire all possible items of contamination need to be removed and hand hygiene performed. In this module, learners are guided through steps involving removal of possible items of contamination like watches, jewelry, apparels worn to the hospital etc. Hand hygiene is performed followed by donning head cover and scrub suit. All necessary affordances are made available to the learners to help practice and perform the tasks effectively and with efficiency.
How it works
Training
With prompts, guidance and affordances learners are hand-held through the process to practice the procedure in a virtual environment with a virtual patient.
- Photorealistic Virtual Environment
- Physics-based Interactions
- Learn by Doing
- Visual Affordances
Measure progress
Assessment
Test acquired skills to perform the procedures from start to finish without prompts. An incorrect step will take the learner back to the start to start afresh.
