How sustainability is defined changes all the time. For healthcare, getting to shared definitions and standards for what sustainability means will determine how the industry meets its sustainability targets. Guest Toby Cobbledick dives into the aspects of sustainability, more specifically environmental and social effects of products like single-use surgical gloves. The industry needs to speak the same language in terms of measuring and sharing data in the same way, and using it to get a complete understanding of how healthcare impacts the environment.

Chemicals are not always bad and are a part of the manufacture of almost everything. In medical gloves, standardisation for measuring and testing for residual chemicals, to be able to reduce the risk of allergic reactions, is a concern. A future for medical gloves, free from chemical accelerators is possible, and manufacturer innovation and focus will help get us there.

One way to influence infection control is moving from a single gloving to a double gloving protocol for surgical procedures. Despite challenges, according to guest OR nurse Carola Kunze, evidence and methodology can motivate changes in behaviors and best practices. Listen now to learn more about introducing a double gloving protocol in the OR.
