You should remove your gloves properly and re apply new clean gloves .


In the event that gloves wind up torn or intensely grimy and extra persistent consideration undertakings must be performed, at that point change the gloves previously beginning the following task. Continuously change gloves after use on every patient, and dispose of them in the closest fitting container. Persistent consideration gloves ought to never be washed and utilized again. Washing gloves does not really make them safe for reuse; it might not be conceivable to dispose everything being equal and washing can make the gloves more inclined to tearing or spilling.
