It only takes one unclean hand to infect a traditional glove box.

With traditional glove boxes:-

·         Hands hold the box to tear open the slot. Unclean hands will immediately contaminate the box

·         Gloves can be contaminated when pulled from an infected box NHS Hospital Study Sept 2009

·         The dispensing slot faces upwards or sideways - contamination from the air can settle on the gloves and dispensing area of the box

·         Boxes are often left on work surfaces and trolleys open to contamination from the local environment

·         Gloves are usually touched on the fingers and palms when pulled from the box - those areas which come in to contact with the patient

·         Gloves tend to clump together and dispense randomly and in multiples, creating wastage

·         Gloves often fall on the floor and contaminated surfaces; and may then be stuffed back in the box in a highly contaminated state

·         Putting on time is slowed by inconsistent random vending of gloves
