The correct use of disposable gloves by medical staff is not only to protect themselves but also to ensure the safety and responsibility of patients. So there's a lot of science to how to properly put on gloves.

1. Wear gloves

Put your left hand into the left glove first. After putting on the gloves, put your left hand into the outer ring of the right glove, and then put your right hand into the glove (wear the right glove first). Pull the folding part of the glove over the cuff without exposing the wrist; Hands should not touch the outside of gloves without gloves on and should not touch the skin with gloves on.

2. Wear double gloves

Wearing double gloves reduces the wearer's exposure to danger. If double gloves are required for certain procedures (such as chemotherapy or bone marrow puncture), they should be loose-fitting so that one can be placed on top of the other.

3. Change gloves promptly

After contact with suspected contaminated areas or items from the same patient, gloves should be changed before mucous membranes are exposed. Before touching non-contaminants or disposing of other patients, you should remove gloves and wash your hands or with disinfectant immediately to avoid spreading microorganisms to other patients or items.

4. Duration of wearing gloves

The longer you wear gloves, the more vulnerable the protective barrier becomes.

5. Remove gloves

In the process of use, the source of infection will pollute the outside surface of the gloves, it is very important to remove the gloves correctly, do not pull the gloves when forcibly, should turn the gloves off gently, hands as far as possible not to touch the outside of the gloves, the gloves should be taken off in time disinfection treatment, and should not be thrown into the waste bucket. The wrong glove removal can lead to the spread of contaminants on the outside of the glove when a good barrier function is meaningless.
