Steps for Putting on Scrub Gloves
Based on the referenced video, the process involves the following:
-
Free Your Fingers: Begin by working the gloves so that they are loose and will easily slide onto your hands. Specifically, use your fingers to free up space within the gloves.
-
Pull on the First Glove: After freeing the fingers, you can pull the first glove onto your hand.
-
Adjust the First Glove: Once the first glove is on, you may need to slightly adjust the fit.
-
Expose the Second Hand: With your gloved hand, carefully expose the skin of the other hand.
-
Put on the Second Glove: Use your already gloved hand to pull the second glove onto the other hand.
- This process is made easier now that you have one gloved hand.
Summary
The process emphasizes avoiding touching your skin with the outside of the glove to maintain a sterile field. The key is to use the inside of the glove to avoid contamination when putting them on, and use the outside to expose the second hand for the second glove application.
