scrub room
Pre-surgery washing area
A scrub room is a sterile preparation area in a hospital where surgical staff wash their hands and arms before entering an operating room.
The thorough cleaning process—scrubbing in—typically involves antiseptic soap and precise technique to minimize infection risk: The surgeon spent five minutes in the scrub room before the procedure.
