    The first powderless ophthalmic gloves were evaluated and confirmed to be truly powder-free. Existing powder gloves could not be effectively cleaned, highlighting the benefit of powderless options.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Ophthalmic gloves are essential for surgical procedures.
    • Powder in gloves can cause complications like granulomas and adhesions.
    • Powderless glove technology aims to mitigate these risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the first commercially available powderless ophthalmic gloves.
    • To compare their performance against traditional powdered ophthalmic gloves.

    Main Methods:

    • Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to assess glove surfaces.
    • Ease of donning was evaluated.
    • Tactile sensitivity was tested.

    Main Results:

    • SEM confirmed the new gloves were entirely powder-free.

  • Conventional washing could not remove powder from existing commercial gloves.
  • The powderless gloves offered a significant advantage in terms of surface cleanliness.

    • Conclusions:

    • The new powderless ophthalmic gloves meet their powder-free claims.
    • They represent an advancement over traditional powdered gloves, which retain powder even after washing.
