Surgical technologist


Explanation:
A surgical technologist, also called "scrub tech," "surgical technician," or "operating room technician", is an allied health professional working as a part of the team delivering surgical care in some countries.
They handle the instruments, scrubs, medications, and other supplies and equipment necessary during the surgical procedure.

A volte nella vita di tutti i giorni (come in italiano) si può anche indicare come nurse =infermiera, però se vuoi riferirti proprio al ferrista, i termini da usare sono "surgical technologist" in un testo normale o "scrub tech" in una traduzione verbale o più informale.
