Four different instrumental techniques were used to analyze the microscopic particles on the patient-contact surfaces of a variety of surgical gloves. The presence of talc was confirmed on most, but not all, gloves tested. The presence of talc, when it occurred, seemed to be due to design by the manufacturer rather than by accident, and it was predominantly on the patient-contact surfaces. The intentional inclusion of talc on modern surgical gloves has been unexpected up to now. A washing and wiping procedure showed that talc was more difficult to remove than starch-based powder. A powder-stripping procedure showed that powder that resisted removal by washing could be mechanically dislodged. Thus, a shedding hazard might exist during a surgical procedure even if the glove surfaces have been washed and wiped.
使用了四种不同的仪器技术来分析各种手术手套与患者接触表面上的微观颗粒。在大多数（但不是全部）测试手套上都证实存在滑石粉。滑石粉的存在似乎是制造商设计所致，而非偶然，并且主要存在于与患者接触的表面。直到现在，现代手术手套中有意添加滑石粉还是出人意料的。一项清洗和擦拭程序表明，滑石粉比淀粉基粉末更难去除。一项粉末剥离程序表明，水洗无法去除的粉末可以通过机械方式去除。因此，即使手套表面已经清洗和擦拭，在手术过程中仍可能存在脱落风险。
