BACKGROUND AND AIMS Dental practitioners are prone to occupational risk of infection. This can be prevented in part by wearing gloves. However, for this to be effective, gloves should be intact during the entire course of dental procedure. Leaky surgical latex gloves have been seen in 0.9% of cases before use. As much as 1.9% of latex gloves have been reported to be damaged during dental proced...

OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the effectiveness and radiation protection capability of latex gloves coated with various contrast agents as an alternative to lead gloves. METHODS The following six groups were created to evaluate the permeability of X-ray in this experimental study: lead gloves, two different non-ionic contrast media (iopromide 370/100 mg I/mL and iomeprol 400/100 mg I/mL),...

COVID -19 is a threat to any living species. This has not left even animals. Hence, proper precaution should be taken avoid the spread of this deadly disease. affects humans, which cause severe respiratory Glove important element stop spreading. But removal glove maintained. Fully automated sensor unit built for hand sensing and gloves designed using microcontroller device remove gloves. Mechan...

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 ...

Exposure to starch powder from both surgical and examination gloves can cause a number of undesirable reactions, which vary from well known allergy symptoms and upper respiratory-tract disorders to pleuritis, myocarditis, irritation of the central nervous system or even carcinoma or tuberculosis misdiagnosis. A well documented consequence of the use of starch powder in gloves is its capacity to...

Disinfectants may cause adverse effects directly on the skin or systemically by permeating through the skin. In this study breakthrough times were measured for surgical gloves with chemicals which are commonly used in healthcare. Classical methods of analytical chemistry were tailored for the permeation tests, which were carried out according to the European standard EN 374 and the American sta...

PURPOSE Surgeons have noticed an increased incidence of finger lacerations associated with arthroscopic knot tying with solid-core suture material. This study examines glove perforations and finger lacerations during arthroscopic shoulder surgery. METHODS We collected 400 surgical gloves from 50 consecutive arthroscopic shoulder repair procedures using No. 2 solid-core sutures. Two surgeons u...

This research investigates the factors that affect existence of pinholes in surgical gloves during manufacturing process. Since eight gloves, a two-level fractional factorial design 28-4 was used to study main effects and first-order interactions multiple variables. Multiple linear regressions are model data. paper also examines presence influential points data using measures regression such as...
