4. Risks of Powdered Synthetic Patient Examination Gloves
Although the powder on patient examination gloves is not exposed to internal organs during surgery, these gloves still present a substantial risk of illness or injury because they are nevertheless exposed to internal tissue when employed in procedures such as oral, vaginal, gynecological, and rectal examinations. Powder may be introduced to the female reproductive tract during gynecological exams (Refs. 45 to 47), which may lead to female reproductive complications (Refs. 18, 48 to 50). The migration of powder into the reproductive tract was demonstrated in an animal model and human clinical studies (Refs. 21, 40, 51). The wearers of these gloves can also facilitate the migration of powder from these gloves into the body when handling instruments such as endoscopes or when performing postsurgical wound care. Thus, the powder on synthetic patient exam gloves presents risks similar to those of the powder on synthetic surgeon’s gloves, including granulomas and adhesions, and the resulting complications. Finally, as with synthetic surgeon’s gloves, powdered patient examination gloves also can expose those in their proximity to the risk of powder inhalation, even if not carrying NRL.
