All surfaces, counters, and general-use equipment in the body piercing area must be cleaned and sanitized before a patron is seated. To ensure a sterile operating field, a sterile disposable paper sheet or drape must be used. Drapes must be moisture resistant. The top surface of the drape is considered a sterile area and edges are not. Only sterile items may be placed on the sterile field. See Appendix B at the end of this article for a list of approved environmental cleaning solutions.
