The development of disposable gloves and the discovery that good hand hygiene are essential for protecting patients are among the most important developments in the history of infection prevention and control, and are both essential for protecting patients and healthcare workers. Although there are international-level guidelines for glove use and hand hygiene during patient care, there are major issues concerning compliance. The overuse of gloving does not only contribute to reduced patient safety and increased healthcare-associated infections, but leads directly to environmental degradation and labor rights abuses.
一次性手套的发展以及认识到良好的手部卫生对于保护患者至关重要，这是感染预防与控制史上最重要的进展之一，对于保护患者和医护人员都必不可少。尽管在患者护理期间有关于手套使用和手部卫生的国际层面指南，但在依从性方面存在重大问题。过度使用手套不仅会降低患者安全性并增加医疗相关感染，还会直接导致环境恶化和侵犯劳工权利。
