Properly Remove Contaminated Gloves

This is the technique for removing contaminated gloves.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Without touching the bare skin, grasp either palm with the fingers of the opposite hand. (The opposite hand will still contain a glove)
Step 2

Gently pull the glove away from the palm and toward the fingers, remove the glove inside out. Hold onto the glove removed with the fingers of the opposite hand. (now only one of your hands should have a glove)
Step 3

Without touching the outside of the contaminated glove, carefully slide the un-gloved index finger inside the wrist band of the gloved hand. Try and avoid touching the outside of the glove because that is the contaminated region.
Step 4

Gently pull outwards and down toward the fingers, removing the glove inside out. Pull the glove down so that the first glove ends up inside the second glove so that no part of the outside is exposed.
Step 5

Throw away both gloves in an appropriate container.
Step 6

Use alcohol-based hand rub to clean your hands and other exposed skin.
