3-23. GOWN AND GLOVE PROCEDURES (SURGEON)

a. The scrub assists the surgeon and assistants with the gown and gloves as soon as possible after they enter the operating room. Never interrupt a sponge count for this. The scrub receives the gown and gloves from the circulator and will hold the gown and gloves for the surgeon..

b. Usually, gloves have a light powder to facilitate gloving. A fresh sponge and saline solution is used to wipe the powder from the gloves and the sponge is discarded.
