Make double gloving your standard practice

Surgery poses an increased risk of bloodborne pathogen (BBP) exposure to healthcare professionals and patients. Surgical gloves have been recognized as an effective barrier to minimize this risk and reduce potential cross-contamination that can lead to the development of healthcare-associated infections.1

Evidence supports the use of double gloving with a darker-colored underglove, as part of an indicator system, to decrease the risk from percutaneous injury and provide an effective barrier to BBP exposure.2

Double gloving is advocated by many international health and perioperative organizations.

Double Gloving

  1. Reduces risk of exposure to patient blood by as much as 87% when the outer glove is perforated.1
  2. Wearing a colored under glove increases identification of perforations by up to 86%.3
  3. Reduces the volume of blood on a solid suture needle as much as 95%, thereby reducing viral load in the event of a contaminated percutaneous injury.1
  4. Two layers of gloves can alert the surgeon to glove failure, detecting 77% of perforations versus only 21% with single gloves.2
