Procedure for donning sterile gloves:
- Remove all jewelry, including rings.
- Wash hands using an antimicrobial cleansing
agent.
- Dry hands thoroughly with a paper towel. Use the towel to turn
off the faucet.
- Remove the packet of gloves from the outer wrapper. Place this
packet on a clean, dry, flat surface.
- Unfold the packet as if opening a book. Position the packet
so that the cuffed ends of the gloves are nearest to you.
- Grasp the center flaps and open. Both gloves must have folded
cuffs. Position the packaging so that it lies flat.
- Use one hand to glove the other. Grasp the edge of the right
glove cuff with the fingers of the left hand, and slip the right
hand into this glove. Pull it on by holding onto the cuff, but do not touch the outside of the glove.
- Adjust both gloves so they fit properly. Make sure there are
no gaps between the fingertips and the ends of the gloves.
- Inspect the gloves for nicks and tears before and during the
procedure. Obtain a new pair of sterile gloves if there is a break
in aseptic technique or if a nick or tear occurs.
