The procedure had ended and I had laid the camera and light cords on the back table so I could remove the drapes. When I went to clear the back table I reached to grab the camera and light cords so I could finish wrapping them up and felt a sharp poke on my thumb. I looked and saw that I was poked by the towel clip we used on the patient. I removed my glove to see if it broke skin and it did. I put hand sanitizer on and then went to wash my hands with soap and water.
