Gloves should be:
- Used when handling sharps or contaminated devices (Loveday et al, 2014) - micro-organisms can survive on objects, or “fomites”, and become a risk for transmission of infection;
- Removed as soon as the episode of care is completed - hands must be decontaminated immediately after glove removal;
- Changed when soiled - they must not be washed or decontaminated with alcohol products between procedures and should be changed between caring for different patients.
