This information explains how to put on a pair of sterile gloves correctly.
- If you have rings on your fingers, take them off. Then, wash your hands with warm soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- Place the package with the sterile gloves on a clean, dry surface. Open the package and pull the edges of the package down to keep them flat.
- Pick up 1 glove by the folded cuff.
- Still holding just the cuff with 1 hand, slide your other hand into the glove, making sure the outside of the glove doesn’t touch anything.
- Slip the fingers on your gloved hand under the cuff of the other glove. Hold the glove up and don’t let it touch anything.
- Keep the thumb on your gloved hand pointing up, so it’s out of the way. Slide your other hand into the glove.
- Pull the glove all the way up. Be careful not to touch anything, including your wrist.
