About
This continuing education session explores the critical role of double gloving in enhancing safety for both surgical patients and healthcare workers. Participants will gain evidence-based insights into the risks associated with undetected glove perforations and the link between glove integrity and surgical site infections (SSIs). The program reviews recently published literature and consensus recommendations to highlight the benefits of double gloving with an indicator system and changing gloves at specific intervals including improved detection of glove breaches, decreased transmission of bloodborne pathogens, and reduced infection rates.
