Abstract: | Previous papers in this supplement have addressed contamination of the peritoneal cavity by powder from the surgeon's gloves, or via airborne starch particles. This paper examines the possibility that medical devices placed inside patients may also become contaminated with powder from gloves during handling and insertion. In this way, glove powder may subsequently find its way into body cavities. |
