Double gloving with puncture indication for extra safety
The key to maximum safety is making sure that punctures in surgical gloves can be detected as rapidly as possible.
Mölnlycke Biogel gloves with puncture indication system
The Biogel ® Indicator ® System's puncture indications are clear, fast and large
- A 2014 Cochrane Review concludes that double gloving reduces the risk of an inner-glove perforation by 71% compared to single gloving
- A study by Laine and colleagues conclude that indicator gloves substantially increase the detection for glove perforations during operation. Indicator gloves detect approximately 90% of the perforations, while standard double gloves and single gloves only detect 36% and 23% of the punctures respectively
. - Biogel Indicator System detects up to 97% of punctures
