I have never heard of a "plastic for the floor" for a surgical environment. I assume you are talking about a temporary plastic sheeting that can be removed? I don't know the regulation for Private office surgical suites or for the state you are in but the safest way to handle this is to remove the carpet and install a non-conductive flooring. At the hospitals that I have worked at we used terrazzo or rubber. I would check with the local authority's for building Reg's. It's the whole liability thing, you know what I mean?
