The same gloves used during a sterile wound dressing on a medical unit are the same kind of sterile gloves used during surgery. Steril gloves require staff to use a precise "sterile" procedure for how the glove packages are opened, removed from the paper wrapping, put onto each hand, etc. The procedure for putting on the gloves is part of the sterile protocols professionals use to maintain the "sterile" field, of which sterile gloves are just one part.
