Many glove users don’t know how gloves are made and the different materials they can be made of, and what impact that might have on durability and performance.
Neither are most users aware that there is a wealth of styles of surgical gloves to choose from, with different fit on the hand. At the end of the day, these differences could actually affect surgical performance and safety as well as long term hand health.
In this episode Dr Tod Brindle will also address some of the challenges a Consensus work group is likely to be facing when performing a systematic review 1 using the PRISMA methodology 2 while preventing bias selection 3 and finally using the so called Delphi method for the voting process.
