Natural rubber latex surgical gloves were first used in 1890. Their usage increased dramatically in the late 1980s, when latex gloves were widely recommended to prevent transmission of blood-borne infections, such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The primary purpose of surgical gloves is to act as a protective barrier to prevent possible transmission of diseases between healthcare professionals and patients during surgical procedures.
Surgical gloves are sterile gloves worn ta prevent contamination of the patient during invasive procedures and ta protect the hand from exposure to potentially infectious materials.
