Glove Punctures You Cannot See

The idea
Glove punctures during surgery often happen without the wearer noticing.
In practice
Small holes develop from wear and from contact with needles and instruments, which is why double gloving is advised and why surgical hand preparation still matters under gloves.
Where people slip
Gloves are a barrier, not a guarantee; that is why the hands beneath them are scrubbed.
