🧤 ASEPTIC TECHNIQUE – WHY DOES IT MATTER?
When carrying out minor skin surgery, preventing infection is an essential part of keeping our patients safe.
At Bolton Private Minor Surgery, we use aseptic technique during procedures to minimise the risk of harmful microorganisms contaminating the wound.
This includes:
🧼 Effective hand hygiene before and during clinical care.
🧤 Sterile gloves and appropriate PPE when required.
🩹 Careful preparation and cleansing of the skin before the procedure.
✂️ Sterile, single-use instruments and equipment for each patient.
🧴 Maintaining a sterile field and avoiding unnecessary contact with key parts and key sites throughout the procedure.
🗑️ Safe disposal of clinical waste and sharps immediately after use.
🧽 Thorough cleaning of the clinical environment between patients.
Aseptic technique isn’t just about wearing sterile gloves — it’s a complete approach designed to reduce contamination and help protect against infection.
At Bolton Private Minor Surgery, infection prevention and patient safety are at the heart of every procedure.
Professional care. Safe practice. High clinical standards.
