A chemical agent that leaves an instrument clean but not sterile is called a disinfectant.

What is the difference between strict aseptic technique and sterile clean technique?
By definition, aspetic means free of pathogenic microorganisms. Whereas Sterile means absence of all the microorganisms. While the difference is clear, both terms are sometimes used interchangably. For example, FDA has a guideline on processing the sterile drugs in the Aspetic environment. But this guideline does not draw a clear distinction between the two categories.
What does sterile environment mean?
A sterile environment refers to an environment that is free of all living microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This is commonly achieved through processes like sterilization and disinfection to prevent contamination and ensure a safe and clean space, commonly seen in medical settings, laboratories, and some food processing areas.
Does the term sterile means free of all life forms?
true
What dressing is free of germs prior to use?
Only dressings in sealed packages labeled as being sterile are sterile (free of all microbes) until opened & contaminated by being in contact with anything that is not sterile.

Are sterile water and sterile distilled water the same?
no. Distilled water has had all chemicals and minerals removed, usually by steaming and re-condensation. Sterile water has been treated, usually heat treated, to destroy pathogens (any living organisms). So, you can sterilize distilled water, but not all distilled water is sterile. manufacturing criteria do NOT require that regular distilled water be packaged to prevent contamination. Water sold as sterile water must be packaged to avoid contamination. On the other hand, water full of minerals can be sterilized; the minerals are still present. So if you want mineral free, organism free water, you need sterile distilled; if just mineral free, distilled.
