You'll learn: • Where wrapped trays belong on the cart and why orientation matters • How to position peel pouches (paper-to-plastic, on edge — never flat) • Why rigid containers go on the bottom shelf and never stacked over wrapped items • How to leave proper spacing for steam penetration and condensate drainage • Common loading mistakes that cause wet packs and re-sterilization Whether you're studying for your CRCST exam or already working in a sterile processing department, proper load configuration is a skill you'll use every single day. 📚 Preparing for the CRCST exam?
