Mayo stand cover
A sterile, typically waterproof cover made of non-woven fabric or laminated paper/plastic, shaped to fit the Mayo stand tray, often with a reinforced pocket at one end that covers the support post.
How it is used
Covers the Mayo stand tray to create a sterile surface on which the scrub person places the instruments immediately needed during the active phase of the operation.
Clinical tip
Apply by sliding hands inside the protective pocket/sleeve of the cover to avoid contaminating the outer sterile surface; the reinforced end should always cover the stand's support post to prevent fluid strike-through.
