The Importance of Medical Asepsis prevents the transferring of microorganisms from patient to patient by sterile technique. Surgical asepsis sterile technique for operating rooms.

There are three levels of asepsis sterilizing disinfecting and cleaning hand cleansing is required prior to any contact with a patient. By doing so prevents the spread of infection. Our hands can act as a mode of transmission in the chain of infection by carrying pathogens from one patient to another. Medical Asepsis is referred to as the clean technique which is the delivery of safe sanitary healthcare. One transmission possible if not sterile is patient equipment and devices environmental controls can limit transmission by keeping all doors secure during an operation. Limiting traffic from entering and exiting the operating room during procedures and allowing sterile to sterile contact. Non sterile contact not permissible there are various sterile techniques to utilize during patient care to prevent transmission. Healthcare workers have access to use sterile gloves, sterile gowns, masks, drapes, and sterile techniques. By disinfecting a patient's skin using antiseptic wipes sterilizing equipment and instruments before a procedure and keeping sterilized instruments inside plastic wrappers also assist in the preventing contamination before use. While aseptic technique requires proper training and the use of specialist equipment, clean technique is much easier to achieve at home. Clean technique involves thoroughly washing the hands, wearing gloves, and maintaining a clean environment. Aseptic technique is a standard set of healthcare practices that aim to eliminate the transfer of germs. The proper use of aseptic technique should prevent contamination and transfer of microorganisms. which are a significant healthcare concern that can lead to consequences for both patients and healthcare facility.

[SHORTENED TITLE UP TO 50 CHARACTERS] 3 Healthcare professionals receive specialized training in aseptic technique practices. However, a person can also receive aseptic technique training .Clean technique is much easier for untrained individuals to achieve, and it involves limiting the number of germs in a patient's area. Clean technique is to avoid directly contaminating instruments and materials that will come into contact with the patient. Operating room personnel, patients, and materials brought into the operating room are capable of introducing infectious agents to the surgical field. Failure to abide by these regulations can cost a patient their life and the healthcare professional exposure. All instruments should be cleaned, washed, and dried before sterilization. Meticulous sterilization procedures ensure that instruments are bacteria-free and safe for surgical procedures. Common methods employed for sterilization process. Every individual entering the operating room should change into a clean scrub suit sterilized. The hair off the shoulder pent up for females and covered with a cap and face mask. Men are to cover long hair and beard all items are to be left behind in the changing room or locker such as wristwatch, wallet, jewelry, necklaces and mobile phones. Having mobile phones in a surgical area is dangerous it can interfere with the equipment and cause harm to the patient Personnel having bacterial infections of the respiratory tract, skin should not be in the surgical area nor come in contact with patients prior to surgery. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards state that antimicrobial solutions used for surgical scrub should be nonirritating, have a broad-spectrum of antimicrobial properties to reduce microbes that reside on the skin to a minimum. Contamination for sterile devices during aseptic presentation. Specifically, we provide insights regarding how both package design and opening technique can be informed in ways that build safety into the healthcare system when these guidelines are followed and
