Donning Gloves Using the Sliding-Closed Technique Has a Larger Distance to Contamination at the Gown-Glove Interface
Performing the SC-assisted gloving technique results in a significantly greater cuff to contamination distance, compared to the traditional open gloving technique. Surgeons should consider adopting this technique to help minimize infection risk alongside standard infection control measures.
