The most important factor in preventing such an infection is surgical asepsis.

In medicine, surgical asepsis is the "cleanest clean" that may be obtained. Surgical asepsis is carried out whenever a foreign object is to be introduced within the patient's body because this transmission provides a direct pathway for any microorganisms that may be present. A part of surgical asepsis is the sterilization of all items and surroundings.
