What is Double-gloving?
Double-gloving is a process of donning two pairs of gloves. The healthcare professional dons a dark coloured underglove (for example iNtouch Spot) as the first layer and then followed by a lighter coloured glove (for example iNtouch Slide) as the second layer. So two layers of gloves are used to enhance protection.
HOW WELL ARE YOU PROTECTED?
Previously, wearing surgical gloves prevents infection on patients due to the transmission of microoganism from surgeons hands. In todays growing incidence of HIV, Hepatitis B and C infections, surgical gloves play an even more significant role in preventing the surgeon’s hands from the transmission of these blood-borne pathogens and viruses.
