ABSTRACT
Aim:
Strict endotoxin limits are enforced for implants and catheters inserted into the body. However, no standard limit has been set for single-use sterile surgical gloves. Materials &methods:
Four types of gloves sold in Japan were dipped in saline and that endotoxin levels were measured. Cytokine producing activity of gloves in blood was also measured.Results:
Three of the four types of gloves showed endotoxin contamination. We also confirmed an increase in cytokine production in these gloves except one glove in which anionic surfactants was found.Conclusion:
The extent to which detected endotoxins enter the body during surgery is controversial, but strict endotoxin limits need to be established.Palabras clave
