Surgical gloves were collected after day-time operations for a 4-week period. Glove punctures were located by inflating each glove with compressed air and immersing the inflated glove in water. During the period of the study 681 surgical operations were performed. A total of 3790 gloves was collected, 334 gloves (8.8%) had perforations at the end of the surgical procedure. Defects occurred in one or more gloves in 32.0% of all operations.
