Standard cleaning procedures in gynecology involve several steps: 1. Surface Cleaning: All surfaces, including examination tables, chairs, and equipment, should be cleaned with hospital-grade disinfectants after each patient. 2. Instrument Sterilization: Instruments like speculums, forceps, and other reusable tools must be sterilized using an autoclave or other approved sterilization methods. 3. Hand Hygiene: Healthcare providers must wash their hands with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer before and after patient contact.
