The importance of keeping pathogenic bacteria from traumatic hand injuries is
obvious but removing dirt, grease, oil, solvents and other chemicals from injured
hands is not always possible. In certain occupations such as construction,
workers are exposed to these hazards and when injured injuries (e.g. abrasions,
burns, cuts, lacerations, punctures) often present with dirty hands. The
technique of using gauntlets and glovettes for digital surgery is presented. This
cost effective and pragmatic technique reduces contamination of the surgical
field and protects patients from neurovascular damage due to excessive tissue
pressure and prolonged application time of forgotten tourniquets.
