Double-gloving is a best practice, recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American College of Surgeons, the Association of PeriOperative Registered Nurses, the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and other professional organizations.
However, it’s also a bit of a pain for your OR team. After all, donning two pairs of gloves can be time-consuming and awkward for the surgical team, as they must adjust the undergloves to ensure a tight fit and maximum tactility. Then there’s the excess packaging and waste associated with opening two pairs of gloves instead of one.
With the GAMMEX® PI Glove-in-Glove System™, Ansell has found a way to make double-gloving efficient and cost-effective.
It’s called “Glove-in-Glove” because outer and inner gloves are pre-donned, so the surgical team can double-glove in just one don. The outer and inner gloves are aligned at the fingertips to minimize the need for adjustments upon donning. And the outer gloves come off easily; the smooth upper surface of the inner gloves makes it easy to accommodate any intraoperative changes.
Pre-donned outer and inner gloves are packed in one poly-pouch and one inner-wrap to help make double-gloving easier and faster. And with 50 percent fewer inner packaging materials used, the system reduces the impact on the environment.
Both outer and inner gloves used in the GAMMEX PI Glove-in-Glove System are non-latex. And they are treated to eliminate the risk of Type I latex allergy and minimize Type IV allergies and skin sensitivities.
