Hey everyone, it's Sarah with RegisteredNurseAriene.com and in this video I'm going to show you how to don sterile gloves. The very first thing what you want to do is wash your hands. Then select a pair of gloves that will fit you because these come in various sizes.
Once you have your gloves you will open them up like that and you will notice these little flaps. These flaps will assist you in opening up the gloves so you won't contaminate them. So just put your fingers underneath them and just pull it open. And remember you have two inches to grab around this field.
You do not want to cross two inches because you will contaminate the field. So just go around and just gently open the gloves up. And you have your right glove and your left glove. And these are the cuffs which we will be touching and they will become a... unsterile, but we do not want to touch the outer part of the glove.
So first what we're going to do is we're going to glove our dominant hand and my dominant hand is my right hand so I'm going to glove that first. So what I want to do is I'm going to take my left hand and I'm going to grab the cuff of the right part of the glove and I'm going to slide my hand into the glove and I'm going to slightly tuck my thumb in so it'll be easier getting the glove on. So I got the cuff. I'm going to slide my hand in and then just put my fingers out. And then I'm just going to roll that down the cuff.
making sure I don't touch the outer part just so it slides up my arm. Okay, now this is sterile. Do not touch anything other than what you're going to be doing with this glove because it'll become contaminated.
Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to just simply take my fingers underneath the left glove and get under there so I can glove my left hand. So just sliding underneath. Now I want to make sure I keep this thumb away because I'm going to slide it over my left hand and I'm going to slightly just tuck my left thumb in again and just slide underneath the glove and I'm pushing with this part of the glove so it'll go over my hand.
and have that and then I'm just going to just gently roll it down without touching my arm and I have the gloves on and they are sterile so now I'm ready to perform my procedure. Thank you so much for watching and don't forget to subscribe to our channel for more videos.
