Sterile gloves are used to prevent contamination and reduce the risk of infection during medical procedures. They create a barrier between healthcare providers and patients, ensuring that sterile environments are maintained, particularly in surgeries or when handling open wounds. Using sterile gloves is crucial in protecting both the patient and the healthcare worker from pathogens and harmful substances. Additionally, they help maintain the integrity of sterile instruments and materials used in clinical settings.

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.

What is the Difference between sterile and non sterile gloves?
The main difference between sterile and non-sterile gloves is whether the gloves have been sterilized and are intended for procedures requiring a sterile field. Sterile gloves are sterilized and packaged to maintain sterility. They are generally used for surgical procedures or other procedures where maintaining a sterile field is important. Non-sterile gloves, also called examination gloves, are not sterilized. They are commonly used for routine examinations, general patient care, and procedures where sterility of the gloves is not specifically required. They still provide an important barrier against contact with blood, body fluids, and other potentially infectious materials. The choice between sterile and non-sterile gloves depends on the type of procedure, clinical setting, and infection-control protocol. Interestingly, research has examined whether sterile gloves are always necessary for certain minor procedures. One systematic review found no significant difference in postoperative infection rates between sterile and non-sterile gloves in the outpatient procedures studied. For more information about the relationship between glove use and infection risk specifically in vasectomy procedures, see this resource from Clinique Vasectomie: Vasectomy and Infection Risk: What Does the Evidence Say?
