Using Different Parts Of Surgical Gloves For Non-Absorptive Drainage Of Fingers In Hand Surgery

Abstract

Surgical drainage tubes are generally used for passive drainage of various surgical sites in the body. Studies show that drainage tubes are as effective as closed, negative pressure drains. Today, many types of drains such as feeding tubes or rubber tubes described by Charles Bingham Penrose are used to provide drainage.[1] In simple terms, the purpose of drains is to ensure drainage by acting as a stent, which prevents increased pressure in the surgical site.[2] The aim of this study is to report our results about open drainage from the surgical site using various parts of powder-free, latex surgical gloves.
