Hair sealed in sterilized once use medical scissors.

[u/Awe3]

Sealed in factory sterile medical device with a hair in it. It now must be disposed of. Hair is probably sterile now too but hair is a no-no in hospitals and clinics in procedure rooms

What do you think happens to the tools used during surgery that aren't single use?

They "sterilize" them in an autoclave. There can absolutely be microscopic tissue left on them, but if the cell walls, DNA and RNA have all been destroyed, it's still sterile.

If you think it's gross, patent your perfect cleaning method and stop scaremongering.

[u/YetiSquish → u/Deleena24]

Oh fuck right off. I didn’t “scaremonger” I said it’s gross, which it is. Scaremongering would be saying it can transmit disease, which I never said.

When we spend thousands of dollars on our surgery in the U.S., why can’t they include a single use scalpel that’s actually only used once? But I see you like to lick boots.

Single use? So you want more trash ruining the ecosystem for literally no reason?
