There's never been a stronger
reason to double glove.
An unbelievable 92% of glove punctures go unnoticed during surgery exposing surgeons, operating staff
and patients to the risk of blood-borne virus transmissions.
1
Double-gloving is proven to reduce the risk
of exposure to patient blood by as much as 87% when the outer glove is punctured.
2
Many surgeons cite fear of loss of manual dexterity and tactile sensation as the
reason they do not double-glove.
3
However, a study published in the Journal of the
American College of Surgeons showed that tactile sensitivity and manual dexterity
are not impacted by double-gloving.

Double-gloving with the Biogel
®
Puncture Indication
®
System
™
can detect up to
97% of punctures.
4
Using Biogel
®
PI Micro as the overglove can provide a thinner
and more comfortable double-gloving system.
