Abstract
Background: Multiple studies have been conducted investigating the use of sterile vs non-sterile gloves. The aim of this Clin-IQ is to determine whether there is a clinically significant difference in the rate of infections in relation to the use of sterile vs non-sterile gloves for joint injections.
Conclusions: Multiple studies have shown no appreciable difference in outcomes using sterile vs clean gloves for a variety of clinical applications including joint injections.
