Glove Use and Hand Hygiene

Kristofer Harris and Jeff Lindsay from UT Physicians demonstrate how to properly don and doff gloves. The process begins with hand hygiene, selecting the correct glove size, and ensuring gloves are worn over gowns if applicable. For doffing, the outside of gloves is considered contaminated, and specific steps are followed to safely remove and discard them. Hand hygiene is emphasized both before and after glove use.
