The first medical gloves were invented by Dr. William Stewart Halsted, a surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital, in 1889. He created them to protect his hands from chemicals used in surgical procedures and to prevent infections. The gloves were initially made from rubber and became a standard practice in surgical settings, significantly improving hygiene and patient safety.
William Halsted contributed to the germ theory of disease by implementing strict aseptic techniques in surgical procedures. His emphasis on using sterile instruments, gloves, and dressings helped reduce the risk of infection and supported the idea that surgical infections were caused by bacteria. This practice revolutionized surgical care and led to significant advancements in preventing postoperative complications.
