• THIRTY-ONE HEALTH CARE WORKERS, of whom 24 (77%) were perioperative nurses, evaluated a new nonlatex surgical glove with a coating consisting of ingredients clinically proven to have beneficial effects on skin health. • IN THIS ONE-DAY, clinical self-assessment study, nurses and other health care workers compared the condition of the skin on their hands before and after wearing these surgical gloves. • EIGHTY-ONE PERCENT of the perioperative nurses and health care workers rated the skin on the hand that had worn the glove as less dry than it had been at baseline. Sixty-five percent rated their skin as more hydrated, and 58% rated their skin as smoother and more supple after wearing a surgical glove coated with a dermal therapy formulation.
