sterilization means free from microorganisms to the surgical instruments and other equipment.
to minimize the growth of organisms and transmission of disease from one individual to another. In the environment the use of disinfection techniques decreases the growth of bacteria on surfaces, which leads to the decrease in transmission of organisms among the population.
A method that allows the destruction of various microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites).
Sterilization is required for any medical and surgical material to be used under strict aseptic conditions. Physical methods (use of heat, dry or wet, use of ultraviolet radiation, gamma or accelerated electrons) or chemical methods (application of a liquid or gaseous chemical) are used.
Sterilization is an important process for getting microorganisms free materials for microbiological analysis
TO AVOID OR PREVENT THE GROWTH OF DISEASES
sterilization means free from microganism to surgury and the equipments.
one of the basics to a safe procedure is to maintain sterile field during surgery. to minimize risk of infection postoperatively.
All invasive procedures involve contact between a medical device or surgical instrument and a patient's sterile tissue or mucous membranes. A major risk of all such procedures is the introduction of pathogenic microbes that could lead to infection. Failure to properly disinfect or sterilize reusable medical equipment carries a risk associated with complications. The level of disinfection or sterilization is dependent on the intended use of the object: critical items (such as surgical instruments, which contact sterile tissue), semicritical items (such as endoscopes, which contact mucous membranes), and noncritical items (such as stethoscopes, which contact only intact skin) require sterilization, high-level disinfection, and low-level disinfection, respectively. Cleaning must always precede high-level disinfection and sterilization. Adherence to the recommendations should improve disinfection and sterilization practices in health care facilities, thereby reducing infections associated with contaminated patient-care
Its a processto removing the bacteria and germs
elimination of microbiological organisms
sterilization is important for food safety processing,free from microorganisms to the surgical instruments and other equipments.
To prevent dissemination of microorganisms.
