In most emergency departments, surgical gloves are coated with surface powders that act as lubricants to facilitate donning. Cornstarch powder is an absorbable powder employed as a donning agent on most powdered gloves. Talcum powder, a nonabsorbable powder, is used as a mold release agent in glove manufacture and is still commonly found on the surfaces of modern surgical gloves. These powders are foreign bodies that elicit inflammatory responses, leading to a wide number of symptoms and complications. The best method of preventing clinical complications from glove powder is to use powder-free gloves.
在大多数急诊科，手术手套都涂有表面粉末，这些粉末作为润滑剂以方便穿戴。玉米淀粉粉末是一种可吸收的粉末，用于大多数有粉手套的穿戴剂。滑石粉是一种不可吸收的粉末，在手套制造中用作脱模剂，并且仍然常见于现代手术手套的表面。这些粉末是异物，会引发炎症反应，导致多种症状和并发症。预防手套粉末引起临床并发症的最佳方法是使用无粉手套。
