All swabs used during the operation are counted and their purpose noted. The intertitles note that an untidy gown is a 'danger'. Different types of sterilisers are pointed out. Methods of sterilising the patient's skin are shown. After the operation, the swabs are checked so that they can be sure none were lost inside the patient. After surgery the instruments are made ready for sterilisation.
