00:00:00.853 --> 00:00:07.111
Open gloving is performed for procedures where sterile gloves are required, but not a surgical gown.

00:00:07.403 --> 00:00:10.588
Remember that even scrubbed hands are not sterile,

00:00:10.658 --> 00:00:14.625
and therefore must not touch the outside surface of the gloves.

00:00:15.346 --> 00:00:20.321
Gently pull the outside wrapper apart to expose the inner glove wrapper.

00:00:20.629 --> 00:00:23.114
Remove the paper and gloves.

00:00:23.384 --> 00:00:25.586
Without reaching over the sterile gloves,

00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:30.016
carefully open the paper without touching the inside of the paper.

00:00:30.858 --> 00:00:34.021
The paper is folded to facilitate opening.

00:00:34.675 --> 00:00:39.402
With the left hand, grasp the right glove by the folded cuff,

00:00:39.712 --> 00:00:43.347
so that your hand is touching the inside of the glove.

00:00:43.878 --> 00:00:47.856
Remove it from the pack without touching the outside of the glove.

00:00:48.826 --> 00:00:52.925
Slide the right hand into the glove and leave the cuff folded.

00:00:59.696 --> 00:01:06.641
To pick up the left glove, slide the gloved fingers of your right hand under the folded glove cuff.

00:01:06.782 --> 00:01:11.462
Take care not to touch the inside of the left glove with the right hand.

00:01:11.930 --> 00:01:15.877
You might need to extend your right thumb to keep it out of the way.

00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:20.920
Slide the left hand into the glove and carefully pull the cuff over the wrist

00:01:21.140 --> 00:01:27.081
using the fingers of the right hand that were previously placed under the folded glove cuff.

00:01:27.562 --> 00:01:30.555
With the left hand, finish putting on the right glove

00:01:30.597 --> 00:01:34.891
by inserting the gloved fingers of the left hand under the right glove cuff

00:01:35.142 --> 00:01:38.397
and turning the cuff of the glove over the wrist.

00:01:38.588 --> 00:01:42.433
Finally, adjust the gloves so they fit properly.
