Sterilných

Sterilných refers to items or environments that have been rendered sterile, meaning free from viable microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or spores. This process, known as sterilization, is critical in medical, laboratory, and industrial settings to prevent infection, contamination, or degradation of materials. Common methods include autoclaving (high-pressure steam), chemical sterilants, dry heat, and radiation. Sterilized products, such as surgical instruments, laboratory media, and packaging, are essential for maintaining hygiene and safety in healthcare and research. The term emphasizes the absence of any living microorganisms, ensuring that the item is safe for use in environments where microbial presence could cause harm.
