4. Don 2 Gloves at
Once
Ansell's Gammex PI Glove-
in-Glove system lets you dou-
ble-glove in a single step. The
inner glove is green and the
outer glove is semi-transpar-
ent, so you can easily notice if
the outer layer is compro-
mised by a small stick or cut.
During surgery, you can slip off and replace the outer layer as needed.
Double-gloving has been proven to reduce the risk of sharps injuries,
especially during orthopedic cases involving drills and saws, but com-
pliance can be lagging. Surgeons and staff might be more willing to
add an extra layer of protection to their hands if double-gloving can
be done in a single step and without the assistance of another surgical
team member. Opening a single pouch to don 2 pairs of gloves also
reduces waste and lessens your facility's environmental impact.
FEEL THE GLOVE Increasing compliance with double-gloving will pro-
tect more staff and surgeons from sharps injuries.
