We performed a prospective, randomised study comparing the rates of glove perforation using double latex gloving with or without a disposable protective glove liner (Paraderm) on 118 patients undergoing primary or revision arthroplasty of the hip or knee by one surgeon (FRH). The patients were randomly allocated into two groups: in group 1 an inner and outer pair of latex gloves were worn as double gloves and in group 2 the glove liner was worn between the two latex gloves.There was glove perforation in at least one outer glove in 99 operations (84%). The operating surgeon was aware of the perforation in 21 of these. There were 22 perforations of the inner glove. Group 1 had a significantly higher perforation rate per operation (p < 0.05) than group 2.Our findings show that protective glove liners significantly reduce the rate of perforation of the inner glove during hip and knee arthroplasty. |
