Surgical Glove Practice: The Evidence
Journal of Perioperative Practice, 2007Surgical gloves are worn to protect both the patient and the surgical team from transferred infections. Wearing two pairs of gloves, perforation indicator systems, glove liners, knitted gloves and triple gloving are said to offer additional protection.

Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, 1966Surgical gloves are worn to prevent user and patient infecting each other, to prevent users carrying infection from patient to patient and for aesthetic reasons. Over two million pairs of surgeons’ rubber gloves (and nearly one million pairs of plastic gloves) are used in Britain annually.

Journal of Perioperative Practice, 2010
Surgical gowning and gloving is an essential element of perioperative practice and is undertaken by the members of the anaesthetic and surgical teams involved in a perioperative intervention or procedure. Gowning and gloving will take place immediately after surgical hand antisepsis and the whole process is often referred to as scrubbing, gowning and ...

Surface Powders on Surgical Gloves
Archives of Surgery, 1980Four different instrumental techniques were used to analyze the microscopic particles on the patient-contact surfaces of a variety of surgical gloves. The presence of talc was confirmed on most, but not all, gloves tested. The presence of talc, when it occurred, seemed to be due to design by the manufacturer rather than by accident, and it was ...

Detection of Surgical Glove Integrity
The American Surgeon, 2000Surgical glove integrity is essential for universal precautions; glove safety is verified by the water load test (WLT). Concerns regarding glove injury have prompted newer testing methodologies, including electrical conductance testing (ECT); however, the sensitivities of these tests are not known.

Permeability of surgical rubber gloves
The American Journal of Surgery, 1972Abstract Surgical rubber gloves, after use in a wet environment, will in a significant number of cases lose their insulating quality and will not protect the surgeon from the short circuit of a defective electrical instrument. Increased glove conductivity increases the risk of injury.

Ophthalmic surgery, 1984
The first commercially available powderless glove was compared to other popular ophthalmic gloves. They were compared with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the ease of donning, and tactile sensitivity. SEM revealed the new gloves to, in fact, be entirely powderfree.

Surgical Gloves: Perforation and Protection
Journal of Perioperative Practice, 2006The risk of surgical glove perforation is affected by a number of factors including the type of surgery, length of operative procedure, hand dominance and role of the glove wearer. This article provides an overview of each of these factors and discusses protective gloving measures taken to reduce perforations based on the findings of the Cochrane ...
