Sterilization processes Effectiveness Podiatric clinics Procesos de esterilización Efectividad consultorios podológicos The podiatric activity takes place in a contaminated environment, so it is necessary to maintain a strict biosafety control, emphasizing the sterilization and handling of work material. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of the sterilization processes in podiatric clinics in the city of Santa Fe, through a cross-sectional descriptive observational study; for which chemical and biological controls were implemented in the dry heat sterilization equipment, in addition to a closed survey addressed to professionals. 54 professionals who carried out the sterilization process participated in the study. Based on the results obtained, it was observed that 28% of the controlled processes did not meet the requirements. The purpose of this research is to disseminate the results in the professional and academic fields in order to achieve a successful and reliable podiatric practice that protects professionals and their patients. La actividad podológica se desarrolla en un ámbito contaminado, por lo que es necesario mantener un estricto control de bioseguridad, haciendo énfasis en la esterilización y manipulación de material de trabajo. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la efectividad de los procesos de esterilización en los consultorios podológicos de la ciudad de Santa Fe, mediante un estudio observacional descriptivo de corte transversal; para el cual se implementaron controles químicos y biológicos en los equipos de esterilización por calor seco, además de una encuesta cerrada dirigida a los profesionales. Participaron del estudio 54 profesionales que llevaron a cabo el proceso de esterilización. En base a los resultados obtenidos, se observó que el 28% de los procesos controlados no cumplieron con los requisitos. El propósito de esta investigación es difundir los resultados en el ámbito profesional y académico con el fin de lograr una práctica podológica exitosa y confiable que proteja a los profesionales y a sus pacientes.
