Sterile Technique

Sterile technique refers to practices used to prevent contamination by pathogens and ensure a clean environment during medical procedures. This approach involves using sterilized instruments, wearing protective clothing, and maintaining a clean workspace. It aims to minimize the risk of infections, especially in surgeries, wound care, and laboratory settings. Key elements include hand hygiene, proper disposal of waste, and careful handling of sterile supplies. By following sterile techniques, healthcare providers protect patients, themselves, and the integrity of treatments, fostering safer clinical outcomes.
