What is aseptic technique?

asepsis wond care

Bacteria can be our best friend. They help us digest food and get the most out of our diets and good bacteria can protect us from infection and disease. They can, however, also be our worst enemy. Bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that can cause disease are all around us and it is vital that healthcare providers protect clients from the pathogens that are found even in the cleanest of environments. To do this, clinicians use practices and procedures to prevent contamination.

These strict rules and processes are the aseptic technique.

When is aseptic technique used?

Any time the skin or mucous membranes are breached, it is vital that clinicians ensure sterility of the area, equipment, and themselves. Examples of instances requiring this technique are:
• Catheterisation
• Surgical procedures
• Wound care

Can this technique be used in a home environment?

Yes, many procedures require  healthcare practitioners to be able to create sterile conditions to meet the needs of their clients. They do this by creating a sterile field to work in, using sterile equipment, proper cleaning of the area and their own hands, wearing gloves and other protective clothing and masks and lastly by following a process that maintains the pathogen free zone throughout the procedure.

How do I know that my healthcare provider is able to perform asepsis technique?

All Empower Healthcare nurses are qualified and trained to be able to perform asepsis technique when indicated. All Empower Healthcare clinicians are equipped and trained to protect their clients by using the appropriate techniques and equipment for the needs of the people they work with.

About Empower Healthcare

We Change Lives

Changing lives is what we do.

Delivering high quality allied health services is how we do it.

Empower Healthcare was founded in 2016 by two people who were determined to improve the standards of allied health services in residential aged care and knew how to do it. With industry knowledge and an innovative approach, Adam and Matthew set about defining what allied health services can be when quality and person-centred care is placed before all else in healthcare.

The partnership, that merged clinical expertise with business acumen, soon established Empower Healthcare as a leading provider of quality physiotherapy services in residential aged care facilities in Victoria. This success fuelled the expansion of our services within residential aged care, home care and NDIS to deliver occupational therapy, physiotherapy, nursing, podiatry, dietetics, osteopathy, massage and speech pathology.

Now offering comprehensive allied health services with more than 180 dedicated and passionate clinicians working in Victoria, Western Australia, New South Wales and Queensland, Empower Healthcare is growing and taking our unique approach with us.

A lot has changed over the years but not our commitment to the highest quality care, delivered by expert clinicians, aimed at improving the independence and quality of life of our clients- helping our clients live rocket-australia.com their lives the way they want to.
