Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When sterile gloves tear, they are no longer sterile and can no longer protect against infection. Therefore, the best option is to immediately remove the torn gloves, decontaminate your hands, and put on a new pair of sterile gloves to continue with the procedure. Choosing to keep the torn gloves on or putting a new pair on over the torn pair can compromise the efficacy of infection control measures and increase the risk of infection.
