the difference between surgical and medical asepsis is that .....................???
The two main types of asepsis are medical asepsis and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis, also known as clean technique, involves practices to reduce the number of pathogens and prevent their spread, such as hand hygiene and the use of barriers like gloves. Surgical asepsis, or sterile technique, aims to eliminate all microorganisms from an area, ensuring that surgical instruments and the surgical field are free from contamination. Both types are essential in healthcare to prevent infections and ensure patient safety.
medical asepsis and surgical asepsis. medical asepsis is the use of practices like hand washing, disinfecting contaminated surfaces and cleaning in general. you are not 100% sterile. skin cannot be sterilized or disinfected. this technique will clean microorganisms but not its spores. surgical asepsis is when all microbial life are destroyed...including spores. the purpose of surgical asepsis is to keep organisms from entering the body during an invasive procedure. therefore, all equipment used is sterilized.
