Over the last decade, research studies from all over the world have demonstrated that glove damage during surgery occurs at frequent time points, across multiple surgical specialties, and impacts surgeons as well as OR nurses and scrub technicians. In this second episode Dr Tod Brindle takes us to the end of the journey on how to create a consensus document for best surgical gloving practice. Look out for more episodes when other clinical experts reflect on this topic.

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.

The challenges of glove manufacture became even more challenging when allergies to proteins in natural rubber latex (NRL) appeared. But with more careful manufacturing, NRL may be on the road to recovery.

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.

A culture of OR safety is led from the top, and emphasizes putting open communication into practice alongside best practices. For podcast guest, surgeon Mr Nathan Coombs, double gloving practice is critical, because of the prevalence of sharps injuries and the desire to minimize risk to patients and health care practitioners.

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.
