Sterile Field and Surface
|
Rigorous adherence to the principles of asepsis constitutes the basis for surgical site infection prevention. Gloves, gowns, masks and drapes minimize bacterial infection from the surgical team and non-sterile equipment, ensuring minimal microbial transmission to the surgical wound. These measures in turn protect health care professionals from pathogens found in the patient's blood or body fluids.
