How to safely put on and take off gloves

Donning Gloves
1. Perform hand hygiene. If you have questions about hand hygiene, check out our hand hygiene videos.
2. Take a pair of gloves from the glove container. Make sure to select the right glove size.
3. Place fingers into first glove, and pull the glove onto that hand.
4. With the non-gloved hand, place fingers into second glove, and pull the glove onto that hand.
5. If you notice any rips or tears in the glove, then replace glove.
6. Remember that if you are wearing a gown, the gloves go on top of the gown.
Doffing Gloves
1. The outside of the gloves are contaminated.
2. Using a gloved hand, grasp the palm area of the other gloved hand and remove first glove.
3. Hold the removed glove in the gloved hand
4. Slide fingers of ungloved hand under the remaining glove at the wrist and peel off second glove.
5. Discard gloves.
6. Remember that gloves do not replace hand hygiene. You must perform hand hygiene when taking off gloves.

You've just contaminated the outside of the gloves as you removed them from the box!
