Medical device representatives who've been sidelined during the coronavirus pandemic are ready to reenter ORs and collaborate with surgical teams. The Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN), Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) and the American Hospital Association (AHA) this week released clinically based recommendations to make sure reps return safely and responsibly.
