Abstrakt: A comparison of double gloving versus single gloving was made with regard to its effects on tactile discrimination and dexterity in 17 surgeons of all grades and specialties. Surgeons were assessed by their ability to tie surgical knots, and Dellon's moving two-point discrimination test. Tests were performed single gloved, double gloved with the larger glove on the outside, and double gloved with the larger glove on the inside. Double gloving did not alter two-point discrimination or the ability to tie surgical knots in this study. Wearing the smaller glove on the outside of the larger glove was considered more comfortable than the conventional technique.
