Which concept uses clean technique to reduce microorganism spread?

• A. Surgical Asepsis
• B. Medical Asepsis
• C. Hand Hygiene
• D. Personal Protective Equipment

Answer: (B)

Clean technique refers to medical asepsis, the practices that reduce the number of microorganisms and limit their spread in non-sterile settings. This approach focuses on keeping the environment and hands clean, using routine cleaning and disinfection, proper hand hygiene, and barriers like clean gloves to prevent contamination. It’s different from sterile technique, which aims to eliminate all microorganisms and is used for invasive procedures. While hand hygiene and protective equipment are essential tools within medical asepsis, the overarching concept described as cleaning up to prevent transmission is medical asepsis.
