Aseptic Technique
- urinary catheters
- vaginal labor
- dialysis
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers other
basic rules for infection prevention:
- better staff training on aseptic techniques
- use of chlorhexidine (an antiseptic) for post-catheter care
- antimicrobial ointment to be used on IV line exits
- proper bandaging post-operation
Preparation of Aseptic
Technique
You may use ultraviolet light to sterilize the air and exposed
work surfaces in the cell culture hood between uses.
In
Sterile Handling
Always wipe your hands and your work area with 70% ethanol.
Wipe the outside of the containers, flasks, plates, and dishes with
70% ethanol before placing them in the cell culture hood.
Always cap the bottles and flasks after use and seal multi-well plates
with tape or place them in resealable bags to prevent
microorganisms and airborn contaminants from gaining entry
Sterile Handling
Never uncover a sterile flask, bottle, petri dish, etc. until the
instant you are ready to use it and never leave it open to the
environment. Return the cover as soon as you are finished.
