The results revealed that double gloving leads to a significant reduction in the quantity of blood transferred during needlestick injury.

The needle length (between 12 mm and 4.5 mm) did not have a meaningful influence on the amount of leakage; however, significant differences with different needle lengths could be observed.

Double gloving or the use of a glove with disinfectant can result in a decrease in the volume of blood transferred. Therefore, the use of either of these gloving systems could help to minimize the risk of bloodborne infections for medical staff.
