To clinicians who don´t double-glove, I say, 'Do it!'. It´s such a simple way to protect yourself and everyone else. The evidence shows the risks and costs, and the last piece of the puzzle is fighting against resistance to double gloving and providing more incentive to double glove. More surgeons and their staff need to protect themselves against the dangers and risks, starting with rethinking and retraining with an even more vigilant, evidence-based, safety-first approach.
