3. MEDICAL ASEPSIS SURGICAL ASEPSIS Clean technique. Practices that reduce the number and transmission of microorganisms inhibit the spread of organisms. Ex: General cleanliness Isolation Disinfected articles Hand hygiene Sterile technique. Procedures by destroying all micro-organisms and keeping objects and areas free from microorganisms. Ex: Wound dressing
