To maintain sterility, the surgical technologist (ST) touches the inside of the gown that will be against the body. Arms are slipped simultaneously into the gown to prevent contamination. Using the sleeves covering the hands maintains the principle of sterile only touching sterile. Extending the fingers fully into both gloves ensures that the ST has full dexterity while using the sterile gloved hand.
