What is the correct way to remove contaminated gloves?
The correct way to remove contaminated gloves is to use one gloved hand to grasp the cuff of the opposite glove, handling only the outside of the glove. Pull the glove and turn it inside out while removing it. Then, use the ungloved hand to place the fingers inside the cuff of the glove on the opposite hand, touching only the inside of the glove while pulling it down and away to remove it.
Proper Technique for Removing Contaminated Gloves
When removing contaminated gloves, it is important to follow proper technique to prevent any potential contamination. Start by using one gloved hand to grasp the cuff of the opposite glove, making sure to touch only the outside of the glove. Pull the glove and turn it inside out as you remove it from your hand. Then, with your ungloved hand, place your fingers inside the cuff of the glove on the opposite hand. While doing so, ensure you touch only the inside of the glove. Finally, pull the glove down and away from your body to completely remove it, without touching any contaminated surfaces.
This technique helps maintain hygiene and minimize the risk of cross-contamination.
