“…This study will review the measurement methods of the primary outcome indicators, which will have reference significance for a comprehensive evaluation of the effect of glove repeated disinfection. This will guide future researchers to choose comprehensive and rational evaluation methods, such as an irrigation test16 and stretch test17 to measure glove integrity, and surface bacterial culture method18 to measure the effect of repeated glove disinfection. This study will not include a qualitative evaluation, but it will thoroughly highlight the current research direction and areas of concern.…”

IntroductionDisinfecting gloves during patient care has potential benefits and risks. In recent years, disinfection of disposable medical gloves for prolonged use has occurred in clinical practice. However, there is limited high-level evidence to know if this practice can prevent nosocomial infections, reduce microbial levels on the glove surface. This concept was researched using a scoping review to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of disinfecting disposable gloves for prolonged use.Methods and analysisThe review will be conducted in accordance with the Arksey and O'Malley scoping review methodology framework. From the date of database construction to 10 February 2023, the following 16 electronic databases in English and Chinese will be searched: PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, ProQuest, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, SinoMed Database, Google Scholar, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, WHO, China CDC, International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium and European Medicines Agency Science Medicines Health. The screening and data extraction of the study will be carried out by two reviewers (KL and SH). Differences between the two reviewers will be handled through negotiation. If there are still differences, they will be discussed with a third reviewer. Any study, for example, intervention study or observational study, that provide insights about the disinfection of disposable medical gloves for prolonged use will be included. Data charts will be used to extract relevant data from the included studies. Results will be reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews, to define the scope of evaluation. A narrative summary will be completed to synthesise key research findings and background information on the disinfection of gloved hands.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval will not be required because only publicly available data will be analysed. The findings from the scoping review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at scientific meetings. By highlighting the feasibility and effectiveness of the disinfection of gloved hands in the literature, this review will provide direction for future research and clinical guidelines.Trial registration numberThis scoping review protocol has been registered in the Open Science Framework (registration number: 10.17605/OSF.IO/M4U8N).

“…In this situation, the disinfection procedure makes it safer, ensuring that the glove is visibly clean and without perforations [ 9 , 16 , 17 ]. The disinfection of gloved hands by healthcare professionals can considerably reduce the risk of contagion, when the gloves are designated for the entire patient care process and multiple tasks are carried out on the same patient [ 9 , 18 ]. Specifically, it has been shown that the efficiency of disinfection is greater for different combinations of disinfectants/gloves than for bare hands [ 15 ].…”

Background In the current pandemic situation, glove disinfection is a process that can be used to care for the same patient or when removing personal protective equipment. For this reason, it is necessary to check compatibility data of the glove with the disinfectant product in glove disinfection. Aim To test the resistance of nitrile gloves to different disinfectant solutions. Methods To analyze the resistance of nitrile gloves, firstly, the gloves were exposed to the disinfectant. The exposure to the disinfectant was analyzed comparing the control group (untreated glove) with the others. For the tensile test, the thickness of each test specimen was measured with a micrometer .100% powder-free nitrile gloves, composed of nitrile Butadiene rubber (NBR) compounds, were used. The 7 most commonly used disinfectant solutions in the healthcare field were selected. Findings A bleach solution did decrease breaking load, although to a lesser extent than disinfectants that contain ethanol in their composition. Conclusion With the methods used, we have determined the influence that various disinfectants have on nitrile gloves, finding that those which contain alcohol cause a decrease in breaking load.

Commensal strains of the human intestine Escherichia coli K12 and of the human skin Staphylococcus epi-dermidis are often found in the same atypical biotopes, where they can act as infectious agents. The metabo-lism of bacteria changes in polymicrobial associations and in the presence of increased osmotic pressure in biotopes, associated with a number of pathological conditions that may affect their sensitivity to antibacterial factors of various nature. In this regard, the aim of the work was to study the effectiveness of chlorampheni-col, ceftriaxone, polyvalent pyobacteriophage and chlorhexidine on single and mixed cultures of opportunistic microorganisms E. coli K12 and S. epidermidis at a background of 2% NaCl. It was shown that the effect of ceftriaxone, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, and chloramphenicol, with antibacterial properties only against E. coli, were leveled under conditions of increased osmotic pressure at concentrations of 12-200 mg/l in a mixed culture. For E. coli K12, a decrease in the effectiveness of the bacteriophage at high osmotic pressure was noted, which is the opposite in effect towards S. epidermidis. As for chlorhexidine, its effect on E. coli K12 and S. epidermidis was enhanced in single and mixed cultures under conditions of 2% NaCl. In general, in most cases, an increase in the osmotic pressure of the medium acted as a synergist for inhibiting bacterial growth with antibiotics and bacteriostatic.
