sterile techniques

Sterile techniques refer to a set of practices used to prevent contamination by germs during medical procedures, laboratory work, or any situation where maintaining a clean environment is crucial. This involves using sterilized tools and materials, ensuring a clean workspace, and following strict hygiene protocols, such as washing hands and wearing protective gear. The goal is to minimize the risk of infections and ensure safety, especially during surgeries or when working with samples. By maintaining sterility, healthcare professionals can protect patients and themselves while ensuring accurate results in research and treatment.
