DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEDICAL AND SURGICAL ASEPSIS

Back 7

MEDICAL ASEPSIS IS BASED ON CLEANLINESS AND REDUCING THE NUMBER OF MICROORGANISMS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. SURGICAL ASEPSIS IS MAINTAINING A STERILE ENVIRONMENT BY ELIMINATING ALL MICROORGANISMS.

SANITIZATION

Back 8

REDUCING THE NUMBER OF MICROORGANISMS TO A LEVEL THAT IS RELATIVELY SAFE.
SCRUBBING WITH A BRUSH AND DETERGENT
USED FOR INSTRUMENTS THAT TOUCH ONLY HEALTHY INTACT SKIN

Front 9

DISINFECTION

Back 9

DESTRUCTION OF PATHOGENIC ORGANISMS BY CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL MEANS.
USED FOR INSTRUMENTS THAT DO NOT PENETRATE SKIN OR MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND SURFACES NOT CONSIDERED STERILE
WILL NOT KILL SPORES.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DISINFECTANT AND ANTISEPTIC?

Back 11

DISINFECTANTS ARE CLEANING PRODUCTS APPLIED TO INANIMATE MATERIALS TO REDUCE OR ELIMINATE ORGANISMS.
ANTISEPTICS ARE ANTI-INFECTIVE CLEANING AGENTS USED ON HUMAN TISSUES.

Front 12

STERILIZATION

Back 12

COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF ALL FORMS OF MICROBIAL LIFE
USED ON INSTRUMENTS THAT PENETRATE SKIN OR CONTACT NORMALLY STERILE AREAS OF THE BODY
