Sterile objects held below the waist are considered contaminated.Gloving the dominant hand helps improve dexterity.Slipping the fingers underneath the second glove cuff helps protect the gloved fingers.Sterile touching sterile prevents glove contamination.Interlocking fingers ensures a smooth fit over the fingers.To open sterile supplies,the sides of the package are carefully separated and peeled apart;this prevents the sterile contents from accidentally opening and touching contaminated objects.Touching the outside of the glove surface will contaminate the sterile item;only the inside of the glove-the piece that will be against the skin-should be touched.
