Drainage must be from fingertips to elbow and then may drip off the elbow into the sink. If fingers were pointing down, potentially dirty water (e.g. containing bacteria) could remain on the fingertips. If a surgical glove break were to occur, then the possibility (however small) would exist for bacteria from the fingertips to enter the body of the patient being operated on.
