“…However, with a double gloving protocol, the inner glove could still be perforated and become contaminated during the course of the procedure. Therefore, some studies have shown that in procedures such as implantation, triple gloving is the protocol of choice (68,69).…”

“…46,67 Glove perforation increases the risk of transmission of blood-borne diseases and breaks the asepsis barrier, potentially allowing contamination of the wound and thus increasing the risk of infection. 68,69 Studies have shown that use of a blunt needle compared with a sharp needle during surgery reduces glove perforation rates significantly.…”

ObjectivesTo review the current best surgical practice and detail a multi-disciplinary approach that could further reduce joint replacement infection.MethodsReview of relevant literature indexed in PubMed.ResultsSurgical site infection is a major complication following arthroplasty. Despite its rarity in contemporary orthopaedic practice, it remains difficult to treat and is costly in terms of both patient morbidity and long-term health care resources.ConclusionsEmphasis on education of patients and all members of the health-care team and raising awareness in how to participate in preventative efforts is imperative.

“…Second, we did not check the time of perforation during the operation. However, Demircay et al [23] reported that operation time was not clearly related to the perforation rate, notwithstanding the perforation rate was higher in the 1st half of the operation. In turn, other researchers indicate that the perforation rates increase over time [20,24].…”

Objectives: To analyze perforation rate in sterile gloves used by surgeons in the operating theatre of the Department of Endocrinological and General Surgery of Medical University of Lodz. Material and Methods: Randomized and controlled trial. This study analyses the incidents of tears in sterile surgical gloves used by surgeons during operations on 3 types of thyroid diseases according to the 10th revision of International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) codes. Nine hundred seventy-two pairs (sets) of gloves were collected from 321 surgical procedures. All gloves were tested immediately following surgery using the water leak test (EN455-1) to detect leakage. Results: Glove perforation was detected in 89 of 972 glove sets (9.2%). Statistically relevant more often glove tears occurred in operator than the 1st assistant (p < 0.001). The sites of perforation were localized mostly on the middle finger of the non-dominant hand (22.5%), and the non-dominant ring finger (17.9%). Conclusions: This study has proved that the role performed by the surgeon during the procedure (operator, 1st assistant) has significant influence on the risk of glove perforations. Nearly 90% of glove perforations are unnoticed during surgery.
