A system to increase operating room efficiency for a surgical procedure, comprising:
- a sterile barrier configured to overlay a first shelf of a shelf assembly and create a physical barrier between a sterile field of an operating room and the first shelf, the sterile barrier including multiple bendable wires adapted to secure the sterile barrier to the shelf assembly, the multiple bendable wires including:
- a first bendable wire arranged to be bent over a left edge of the first shelf, such that a bent portion of the first bendable wire is located under the first shelf after bending of the first bendable wire and an unbent portion of the first bendable wire is located above the first shelf after bending of the first bendable wire;
- and
- a second bendable wire arranged to be bent over a right edge of the first shelf that opposes the left edge of the first shelf, such that a bent portion of the second bendable wire is located under the first shelf after bending of the second bendable wire and an unbent portion of the second bendable wire is located above the first shelf after bending of the second bendable wire.
