How to safely remove medical gloves?

Hospital infections are ubiquitous, especially among our healthcare workers who are constantly exposed to infectious pathogens. Although we sometimes wear medical gloves, there is also a risk of coming into contact with pathogens when we take them off. So, how can we safely remove the gloves?

1. Grasp the upper part of the glove at the wrist, being careful not to touch exposed skin.

2. Remove the gloves from the wrist towards the fingertips, paying attention to flipping them out from the inside.

3. The gloved hand holds the recently removed glove.

4. The hand that has taken off the gloves reached into the other glove from the wrist.

5. Flip out the inside of the glove and remove it, at which point the previous glove should be wrapped inside.

6. Place the gloves in the medical waste bin and do not reuse them.
