Rehearse the same order each time: check contacts first, choose the clamp before opening the sheet, then use floss to carry the dam through one contact at a time. I stopped trying to force every contact at once.

For equipment questions, check that the clamp, frame and forceps match the technique required by your faculty. We can confirm the exact components against your current list before an order.

Practice with a short timer, but score yourself on isolation and tissue safety before speed. The time improved once the sequence became automatic.
