Disposable gloves' protective function

Some clinical studies have been demonstrated in the glove hand to prevent contamination of the efficacy of medical staff. One study found that health care workers who wear gloves when contaminated hands, average exposure per patient nursing minute only 3 CFU patients per minute 16 CFU of those who do not wear gloves for comparison. The other two studies medical care for patients with Clostridium difficile or VRE found that wearing gloves prevented hand contamination among the majority of those who have direct contact with the patient. Wearing gloves from their hands when the acquisition of VRE in contact with contaminated environmental surfaces to prevent health care workers. Because handwashing or hand antisepsis may not remove all potential pathogens when hands are heavily contaminated prevent significant contamination of the hands is considered very important.
