Tech in Surgery Prep / Unit 17 TSC 413 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Double Gloving
Captions available
The idea
Double gloving is advised for scrubbed team members in surgical procedures.
In practice
Pinpoint holes develop from wear during procedures, and punctures often happen without the wearer knowing; a second glove reduces exposure to blood and body fluids.
Where people slip
Double gloving is not a reason to ignore a tear; a damaged glove is still changed.
