Setting Up For A Zimmer Total Knee Replacement

[@EY7301]

Surgical Guru, Thanks for making these videos, I am a surgical tech myself and it is nice seeing other people’s way of setting up from opening supplies to completion. Thanks again and please keep making videos like this.

Surgical Guru, Thanks for making these videos can you make a video regarding organ procurement keep up the good work

[@TheSurgicalGuru]

Thank you for watching “Ben & Friday.” It’s my pleasure and I’d be happy to make a video regarding organ procurement. I don’t currently do them here at the facility I’m working at but I’ll definitely put it on my list of videos to complete in the near future!

Thank you for another fantastic video surgical guru!

[@TheSurgicalGuru]

Thank you so much 🙏🏾❤️

Well done brother! Really appreciate you doing this. If you have spare time is it possible to have a pdf copy of the system you’re using for joint replacement surgeries if you don’t mind. I have been away with orthopaedic but will be working back again and we only used zimmer biomet. Thank you and have a blessed day.

The Ref. Number for the X Wide Mayo Covers is 8339 on Cardinal Health if that's what your hospital uses. Hope this helps!

[@TheSurgicalGuru]

@@noonesfool Thank you very much! We have them in some packs but not all of them

Nice video my facility wants us to setup tkas in like 10 minutes

[@TheSurgicalGuru]

Holy cow! Yeah I understand in the morning we have a lot less time I got lucky I had more time to set up

[@brookst9384]

Love it! Why did you tape down the mayo stand with Ioban?

[@djjackson24]

Good work man. I love ZImmer totals as they are probably the easist I have used. Also, how can yall set up without any music blasting lol. Thats like the most essential thing to an OR. Only turn down for counting lol if that lol and then its back to loud music till the patient rolls in lol

[@ayobolaadeboye5363]

nice video, how long before surgery do you set up?

[@brandonleca3765]

homie, i don't know how you get the confidence. I'd be so insecure about filming me opening. I'd be so afraid of people talkin shit. Maybe it's just me. Not everyone is as cool as me about things. Whatever, yo, I just did a Zimmer Zimmy Zims cuz! And you know thisss, MaN! And I'm out, nice video.

[@TheSurgicalGuru]

The confidence comes with experience. Trying failing and learning. It’s the same process with anything you do in life. I truly appreciate the love and acknowledgment, but seriously bro from my perspective it doesn’t even feel special just the natural order of things. It’s like a baby to walk or learning how to use his hands to eat after you practice so many times it’s natural. Nothing different about me or anybody else I just trained! I’m truly proud of you bro! Keep going! That’s ironic and dope you did Zimmer! Keep up the good work, my brother!

We check vendor trays first. I know every place is different but we open all the peel packs, scrub in and make space to check the vendor trays because we aren’t suppose to roll the patient until we know our trays are good.

[@kingofeverything9660]

I have a question what are your hobbies outside of work?

[@TheSurgicalGuru]

As of now I enjoy eating healthy, spending time with my family, exercising, studying the Bible, creating educational content. I enjoy making music as well and I miss making it consistently. I’m gonna be getting back to that in 2025.

[@kingofeverything9660]

Cool man I’m gonna be starting the surgical tech program next month. I’m a little bit nervous becuz I don’t wanna fail. And I also wanna be at least average so I can make some good money. I hear the field is stressful and that surgeons can be mean.

[@3-dnetwork588]

Around 12:50, was the nurse being serious and passive aggressive about you picking up the trays to go and see the patient? She needs to have accountability too cause if she was really in a rush there were plenty of other surfaces where they could have opened more of the vendor sets to further expedite things on their end and not come at you. Great job with always just brushing it aside cause it’s not that deep and after working with different types of nurses for years as a traveler I’d imagine you’ve come to see it all . - Navy CST

[@TheSurgicalGuru]

I can’t even completely understand what she said to me but you said it perfectly brother. Most of the times it’s friendly banter but even if it was serious I understand the pressure comes from anesthesia, doctors, and ultimately upper management to expedite the set up process and get things done as quickly as possible so we can do as many cases as we can throughout the day. We’re human and everyday won’t be perfect but in attempts to maintain my peace of mind I don’t take anything personally and approach work with an understanding perspective as opposed to feeling personally attacked. Also you put it perfectly bro when you deal with harsher personalities throughout your traveling it makes it much easier to deal with people in general. I truly appreciate your comment and service in the field my friend! God bless you forever on this journey of life.

⁠@@TheSurgicalGuruwow… your spirit is amazing. Stay kind sunshine 💪🏽🤍… thanks for sharing

[@num9806]

lady with the rainbow hat is very unprofessional and unsafe for the patients in that work environment. seems toxic there

[@TheSurgicalGuru]

I’m not sure what have you that impression. No place is perfect but no this is an amazing stress free and enjoyable place to work with great kind compassionate people and I love her she’s got a lot of personality of course however she is a great human being and excellent at patient care 😭❤️💯
