Asepsis and sterility refer to the same thing. However, what does differ is the degree of asepsis that must be achieved when performing a certain procedure.

For example, a relatively low degree of asepsis is required when performing an indwelling urinary catheter insertion, where as a high degree of asepsis is required when performing open abdominal surgery.
