    DONNING AND GOWNING TECHNIQUES

    Sterile gloves may be donned by the open method or the closed method. Gloves are
    worn during many procedures to maintain sterility of equipment and to protect a client’s wound.

    DONNING AND REMOVING STERILE GLOVES


    (OPEN METHOD)
    Purposes

     To enable the nurse to handle or touch sterile objects freely without contaminating them.
     To prevent transmission of potentially infective organisms from the nurse’s hands to
    client at high risk for infection.
    Equipment

    lie side by side, grasp the glove for
    the dominant hand by its folded cuff
    edge (on the palmar side) with the
    thumb and first finger of the non-
    dominant hand. Touch only the inside
    of the cuff.
    7.2 Insert the dominant hand into the
    glove and pull the glove on. Keep the
    thumb of the inserted hand against
    the palm of the hand during insertion.
    7.3 Leave the cuff turned down.

    8. Put the second glove on the non-


    dominant hand.
    8.1 Pick up the other glove with the sterile
    gloved hand, inserting the gloved
    fingers under the cuff and holding the
    gloved thumb close to the gloved
    palm.
