Glove Perforations during Oral & Maxillofacial Surgical Procedures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Seventy nine (13%) punctures were identified in 612 gloves. Gloves from the left hand showed the highest incidence of punctures. No puncture was observed in 100 gloves tested as a control. The results showed that glove puncture was more likely to occur in gloves worn on left (nonworking) hand overall as compared with gloves from the right hand. Gloves used for surgical procedures in which wires were used showed the highest incidence of perforation and the incidence of unknown perforation were also very high (65.80%), additional precautions may therefore be indicated.
