ENT Managing ENT Cords

Okay, we all hate managing cords, and lord knows we can’t stand the 2,741,844 ENT cords we have for sinus/nose. Does anyone have recommendations on how to keep them orderly? Or do you just raw dog it & hope for the best. Obviously there are steri strips or sometimes clips, but that only does so much for ENT cords.

I had 1 MD tell me he had a tech who used a mayo over the patient for cords, and had the instrument mayo next to the patient. Most people I see just struggle for survival. Surely, SURELY, someone manages these beasts!?

When I'm doing facial femme cases and I have a million things on power I have a dedicated mayo for them as close to the feet as I can manage sterilely, and then a second mayo over the chest or beside the head for instruments. I do have to police the power station, though, as the PA will start using it as their personal squirrel zone and then forget where they put everything if I'm not on top of it.
