Wearing two pairs of gloves reduces the risk of glove perforation and percutaneous injury.1
Over 80% of all surgical glove perforations go unnoticed2
The risk of exposure to blood and bodily fluid can be reduced by as much as 87% if the outer glove is punctured3
Perforations occurred in 43% of surgical cases, according to one study4
See green for safety
Can you see which glove has a puncture? They both do. But our underglove makes it easier to notice. Our See Green for Safety double-gloving system offers a range of green underglove options designed to help lower the incidence of exposure and improve detection time when perforations do occur.
