Disposable, non-sterile gloves for minor surgical procedures : a review of clinical evidence / Chuong Ho, Alison Jones

Disposable glove wearing by healthcare workers is good practice for infection control for patients with minor surgical procedures such as laceration repair, Mohs surgical procedures for skin cancer in healthcare settings such as physician offices, dental offices or emergent care settings. Despite this, the use of non-sterile gloves may raise the concern of infection, sterile gloves may cost 3.5 to 15 times more than non-sterile gloves, and their use as standard practice may not be necessary. This Rapid Response review aims to compare the clinical benefits of disposable non-sterile gloves to sterile gloves for patients undergoing minor surgical procedures..
