title: Powderfree surgical gloves.
abstract: The first commercially available powderless glove was compared to other popular ophthalmic gloves. They were compared with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the ease of donning, and tactile sensitivity. SEM revealed the new gloves to, in fact, be entirely powderfree. Customary washing procedures of the presently available commercial gloves revealed the inability to remove powder from the surfaces.
