Higher rate of undetected intraoperative damage of latex-free surgical gloves worn by scrub nurses

Perioperative Medicine
Background Surgical gloves are a medical product and a cornerstone of prevention from surgical site infections and staff injury. This study aimed to investigate the integrity of surgical gloves worn by scrub nurses during selected procedures in both ...

Effect of Oxygen Content on Surface and Subsurface Integrity During Turning of Ti–6Al–4V

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study examines how oxygen content in the ambient atmosphere affects the surface and subsurface properties of Ti–6Al–4V during turning. Results show that oxygen does not influence surface roughness. However, machining in an extremely high vacuum‐adequate atmosphere increases surface hardness by up to 7.8% and induces compressive residual stresses ...

Surgical glove perforation in caesarean section and its association with surgical site infections: a prospective cohort study

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth
Objective Infectious complications at the surgical site complicates 1–4% of cesarean deliveries. Strict aseptic technique, hand hygiene and the use of sterile surgical gloves are essential to reduce the risk of surgical site contamination.

Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma Deoxidation of Natively Oxide Layer of Copper Powders in a Fluidized Bed

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This paper presents a novel approach to reducing oxide layers on metal powders using low‐temperature hydrogen dielectric barrier discharge plasmas at atmospheric pressure. Unlike conventional hydrogen‐plasma reductions, the powders do not contact the plasma directly.

PROPER MATERIAL SELECTION OF MEDICAL GLOVES [PDF]

Journal of the Egyptian Society of Tribology, 2020
The possibility of making use of the electrostatic charge (ESC) generated on the surfaces of polymeric materials of the protective equipment such as gloves is investigated in the present work to develop their efficiency to protect the wearer from viruses.

Surface Tension Measurement of Ti‐6Al‐4V by Falling Droplet Method in Oxygen‐Free Atmosphere

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
In this article, the temperature‐dependent surface tension of free falling, oscillating Ti‐6Al‐4V droplets is investigated in both argon and monosilane doped, oxygen‐free atmosphere. Droplet temperature and oscillation are captured with one single high‐speed camera, and the surface tension is calculated with Rayleigh's formula.

Direct Metal Deposition of Graphene–Ti28Nb35.4Zr Matrix Composites With Enhanced Mechanical, Corrosion, and Biocompatibility Properties for Bone Implants

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Graphene nanoplatelet (0.1 wt.%) reinforcement significantly enhances the performance of β Ti‐28Nb‐35.4Zr alloy. Grain refinement, reduced water contact angle, and improved surface characteristics promote osteoblast adhesion and complete surface coverage after 7 days.

Receptor‐Free Identification of Toxic Gases Enabled by Hygroscopic Aqueous Salt Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Water as a gas sensor coating sounds impossible—until it stops evaporating. Here, hygroscopic salt solutions (LiCl, LiBr, H3PO4) form non‐drying aqueous films on CNT chemiresistors under ambient air. Gases partition into these liquid layers, sometimes transforming into water, and generate salt‐specific resistance fingerprints across a four‐channel ...
