RESUMEN
The reversed glove sleeve technique is a simple, available, reproducible, and cost-effective method of achieving "no touch" breast implant insertion. It allows a new glove to be used for each side, thus reducing the risk of contamination by reusing a sleeve/funnel for the subsequent implant insertion. The link between bacterial contamination of breast implants and capsular contracture is established. Further prospective evaluation of this technique is underway to show if there is benefit in reducing the risk of capsular contracture.
