- Abstract: Objective To clarify the occurrence,location distribution,and risk factors of microperforations in surgical gloves used in dermatovenereology surgeries.Methods A total of 898 sterilized surgical gloves worn by right-handed medical staff during dermatovenereology surgeries in Suqian Hospital of Jiangsu Province Hospital from May 2022 to April 2024 were selected as the research objects.The occurrence and location distribution of microperforations in all sterilized surgical gloves after surgery were collected.Univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis were conducted on the factors that might lead to the occurrence of microperforations.Results Among the 898 gloves selected in this study,61 gloves(6.79%)had microperforations;the incidence of microperforations in the gloves worn on the left hand was significantly higher than that in the gloves worn on the right hand(P<0.05);microperforations were prone to occur on the palmar surfaces of the index finger and thumb of the gloves.The results of univariate and binary Logistic regression analyses showed that the use of special instruments,surgery duration≥60 minutes,ingrown nails surgery,and worn by the chief surgeon were the risk factors for the occur-rence of microperforations in sterilized surgical gloves(OR>1,P<0.05),while wearing double-layer gloves was the protective factor to avoid the occurrence of microperforations(OR<1,P<0.05).Conclusion The sterilized surgical gloves are more likely to occur microperforations if involved special instruments in surgery,surgery duration≥60 minutes,and ingrown nails surgery,and worn by the chief surgeon,while wearing double-layer gloves can reduce the incidence of microperforations.
