- Abstract
In this article, the author reflects on the facts in relation to medical science. He gives reference to the supplementary appendix to the Pronovost paper 1 that included the line about handwashing, which confirmed that infections had been reported even when gloves were worn. He further refers to another paper published in 1993 in several science journals that showed that nearly 13 per cent of gloved hands later showed contamination after routine use.
