This recommended practice provides guidelines for properly handling, processing, and preparing reusable surgical textiles for use in health care facilities. These guidelines describe a quality assurance program for the processing of reusable surgical textiles, including processes and techniques for the preparation of clean bulk items for delivery to user sites and the assembly of textile packs for sterilization prior to end use. These guidelines apply to all facilities that process surgical textiles, whether on-premise laundries (OPLs), hospital-owned cooperatives, or commercial facilities.
