Sterile technique principles dictate that only sterile items are used within the sterile field and sterile area. The sterile person must touch only sterile items and keep contact with the sterile area to a minimum, while the unsterile person must avoid reaching the sterile field or area. Contamination can result if the integrity of microbial barriers is destroyed or if microorganisms are allowed to increase beyond an irreducible minimum within the sterile field.
