“…They demonstrated that an operator wearing non-sterile clean gloves could safely perform routine exodontia without increasing the risk of infection. CHEUNG et al confirmed the safe use of non-sterile clean gloves in dental extraction by a prospective randomised clinical trial, which demonstrated that the use of sterile surgical gloves did not offer an advantage over clean gloves in minimizing socket inflammation, infection, and alveolar osteitis following dental extractions 4 .…”

The objective of this study was to quantify the colony forming units (cfu) on latex procedure gloves in the beginning, middle, and end of the containers in real (professional) and controlled (researcher) gloving situations; evaluate the microbial load of the gloves, considering the time of exposure in the environment. This comparative prospective study was conducted at an intensive care unit of a teaching hospital. The microbiological data was collected from the gloves using digital-pressure. Microbiological evaluations were performed on 186 pairs of gloves: 93 in the control group and 93 in real gloving situations. In the control group, the average cfu was 4.7 against 6.2 in the real gloving situation. Hence, no statistically significant difference was found (p=.601). In addition, the cfu values of gloves in the beginning, middle and end of the containers also did not show any significant differences (p>.05). The most common strain was Staphylococcus spp. The time of exposure in the environment did not increase the cfu value of the latex gloves.

“…Within this context, advancements in microbiology, among other areas, have supported the recommendations of important and reputed organizations, such as the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Ostomy Continence Nurses Society, as well as many other studies (1,3,5,8,(15)(16)(17) . Despite the expressive involvement of international entities, the indication of the clean and sterile technique remains controversial when performing many procedures, for instance, making dressings.…”

Objective: This study aimed to describe, analyze, and categorize the evidence associated to the use of the clean and sterile technique in wounds. Methods: It is an integrative literature review using Lilacs, Medline and Cinahl databases. Results: Seven publications were found,, of which four compare the clean and sterile technique, regarding the occurrence of infection; two evaluate the microbiological safety of gloves, and one analyzed the cleansing solution. Conclusion: There is consensus that the clean technique reduces costs. Considering the scarcity of studies, we stress the need to perform more level I and II research, according to the evidence hierarchy. Keywords: Asepsis; Bandages/utilization; Surgical wound infection/nursing , Sterilization/methods RESUMOObjetivo: Analisar a literatura que descreve aspectos que envolvem a técnica limpa e estéril no cuidado de feridas. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, nas bases de dados Lilacs, Medline e Cinahl. Resultados: Dentre as sete publicações identificadas, quatro compararam a técnica limpa e estéril do ponto de vista da ocorrência ou não de infecção; duas avaliaram a segurança microbiológica das luvas e uma analisou a solução de limpeza. Conclusão: É consenso que a técnica limpa reduz custos. Considerando a escassez de estudos, ressaltase a necessidade de mais pesquisas de níveis I e II, segundo a hierarquia de evidências.

Métodos: Se trata de una revisión integrada de la literatura en las bases de datos Lilacs, Medline y Cinahl. Resultados: Se tuvo un total de 7 publicaciones de las cuales 4 compararon la técnica limpia y estéril desde el punto de vista de la ocurrencia o no de infección; 2 evaluaron la seguridad microbiológica de los guantes y 1 analizó la solución de la limpieza. Conclusión: Es consenso que la técnica limpia reduce costos. Considerando la escasez de estudios se resalta la necesidad de más investigaciones de nivel I y II según la jerarquía de evidencias.
