Wash your hands and put on sterile gloves. If the gloves become desterilised, remove them, re-wash your hands and put on new sterile gloves. This is best practice, but where resources are not available, safe modifications to this process can be made, for example by using non-sterile gloves to protect the nurse while removing the sterile dressing.
