Authors' recommendations:
One systematic review was identified which aimed to evaluate the comparative clinical effectiveness of double gloving versus single gloves for preventing transmission of blood borne pathogens from infected healthcare workers to patients. The authors found no trials which provided data on transferred blood borne infections in surgical patients or the surgical team in relation to gloving method. Our literature search found no trials addressing this research question.
