| Popis: | In a single-blind, controlled, prospective trial of 242 sutured wounds of the hand in the A&E department there was increased late purulent infection in those treated without gloves. This difference is statistically significant. We recommend wearing of sterile gloves to suture all wounds in A&E departments. |
