Never Forget the Details. Be Prepared for Every Case. Scrub Tech Notes is designed specifically for Surgical Technologists to organize supplies, instruments, doctor preferences, and all those small details that make the difference between a smooth procedure and a frustrating one. When you're prepared, doctors trust you, circulators appreciate you, and you become an invaluable team member. HOW IT WORKS Set up a surgeon profile with glove sizes, gown sizes, and assistant information. Add procedures for that surgeon with detailed notes about extra supplies, instrument preferences, medications, and setup specifics. Take photos of your backtable and mayo tray layouts to document exactly how each surgeon likes their instruments arranged. When it's time for a case you haven't done in a while, open the app and quickly review the details so you arrive confident and prepared. KEY FEATURES • Surgeon glove and gown sizes • Assistant/PA glove and gown sizes • Organize procedures by surgeon • Document extra instruments and supplies • Photo documentation of backtable and mayo setups • Notes for medications and surgeon preferences • Quick search and review before cases FOR STUDENT SURGICAL TECHS Document setups and take photos of backtable and mayo tray configurations to learn faster. Bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world OR experience. Organize procedure steps and build confidence before each clinical rotation. FOR TRAVELING SURGICAL TECHS Remember all the doctors you work with across different facilities. Working with many different surgeons makes it difficult to remember details, especially for complex procedures. Even draping an ortho case can be very specific. Keep portable checklists so you arrive organized at every assignment. CREATED BY A SURGICAL TECH "As a surgical tech working with many different doctors and facilities, I started manually keeping notes and photos on my phone. The process was cumbersome and time-consuming. That's why I created Scrub Tech Notes—to make it easy to document those little details that make a big difference in every case." PRIVACY FOCUSED Simple subscription model with no ads and no tracking of your personal information. Your notes stay private and secure on your device. Stop guessing what you need for a case. Start being the prepared team member everyone relies on. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
