Proper tissue handling is essential for several reasons: - Preventing Infection: Proper techniques help minimize the risk of introducing pathogens that can lead to infections. - Promoting Healing: Gentle and appropriate handling of tissues can enhance the healing process and reduce the risk of complications. - Minimizing Trauma: Correct handling minimizes additional trauma to the tissues, which can delay healing and increase pain. - Ensuring Accurate Diagnosis: In surgical and diagnostic procedures, proper tissue handling ensures that samples are not compromised, leading to accurate diagnostic results.
