Double-gloving impairs the quality of surgical knot tying: A randomised controlled trial. World J Surg 2016; 40: 2598–2602.
Published: 16th January 2017
Authors: Battersby CLF, Battersby NJ, Hollyman M, Hunt JA
Conclusion
Some 1466 knots were constructed and tested. Double-gloving reduced the Knot Quality Score for all suture types, P=0.001. The reduction in knot quality was the same for surgeons who often used double-gloving and those who did not.
