چکیده
Intervention Patients were allocated to standard mass closure of the abdomen with the surgeon using^ number-1 polydioxanone suture with either blunt-tipped (n = 46) or cutting (n=39) needles. Immediately before closure, the surgeon put on new gloves. After closure, gloves were examined both by inflating them with air and then immersing them in water and by filling them with water. During the second half of the study, gloves were also tested using an electrical detection device that sounded an alarm if the glove was punctured.
