Multiple Uses of Surgical Gloves
Use of surgical gloves for antisepsis is a part and parcel of the routine practice in all medical facilities. However, in the discipline of plastic and reconstructive surgery, the role of surgical gloves has been extended, besides just antisepsis, for many other purposes. The observations made in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Mayo Hospital, Lahore during the period of June 2007 to May 2008 showed a total of 13 varied uses of surgical gloves. This prompted us to further explore the potential uses of surgical gloves because in developing countries like Pakistan, this routine item can be used as a very useful medical tool in different situations.
