How do you put on sterile gloves?
Sterile gloves are packaged pre-cuffed (the wrist part of the glove turned inside-out). Using your dominant hand, pinch the cuff of the corresponding glove for your non-dominant hand. Holding the glove so that the fingers hang straight down will help keep the fingers open. Remember that if a sterile item is brought below waist-level, it is no longer sterile. Work your non-dominant hand into the glove. Do not attempt to reposition the fingers of the glove if it is not correctly placed (ex: two fingers in one spot) you can readjust the fit when both gloves are on. To pick up the glove for the dominant hand, take your gloved hand and slide it underneath the cuff of the glove. Sterile to sterile glove contact is acceptable. Work your dominant hand into the second glove. Now you can repositions fingers. Do not bother to reposition or unfold cuffs at the wrist due to the risk of contaminating your sterile gloves. One aspect of wearing sterile gloves that is difficult if you are new to the concept of sterility is remembering not to touch anything that is non-sterile. This is why you must set up your "sterile field' before you begin. One thing that helps me (I'm in nursing school) is to interlock my fingers as I wear sterile gloves to remind me that I can't simply reach up and readjust patient's curtains like I normally would!
What are sterile surgical gloves?
Sterile gloves are prepacked "sterilized" gloves that are kept inside special wrapping until right before use. Though different hospital departments may use different types or colors of sterile gloves, they technically are not categorized by the use of them (e,g. surgical). 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.

Remove your gloves/gown, throw out the opened/contaminated items, get new unopened products, rewash your hands, and start over.Leaving the room to get something you forgot, returning, and continuing while wearing the same gloves and gown.

Wait until you are done with the sterile procedure before doing non-sterile actions.There are so many actions we all do unconsciously. Learning sterile procedures forces us to become conscious of all our actions, even the most simple or ones normally seen as "minor".
Bullet opints why wear sterile gloves?
* They serve to protect the wearer as well as non-sterile gloves. * The are required for any procedure calling for a sterile field. * Healthcare workers seem to become more attentive of prophylacsis when using sterile equipment. The last seems obvious. I add it because recent studies have shown that iatrogenic disorders are apparently much higher than we had supposed (the Wall Street Journal says possibly as high as >13%). Further, the study notes that non-sterile gloves may increase the transmission of disease in the health care setting in that health care workers are less inclined to wash non-sterile gloves on hand than they are to wash bare hands, thus possibly cross-infecting patients.
