- ALL ABOUT GLOVES | sizes, types, indicator demo
HIGHLY REQUESTED VIDEO OF ALL TIME!
◽️
My size:
7 bottom (indicator)
6 eclipse
I know that this is whole size up and it isn't normal but it works for me. The half size is too tight for me and I find that my hand cramps a lot faster when I'm retracting. You get this numbing feeling when you're working.
◽️
All of these gloves are good. They can all perform well in surgery and my recommendations are my own personal opinions based on experience. I don't like sticky and slippery gloves. I don't like constricted, tight gloves. My hands need to breathe! Each glove types have their pros and cons and I want you guys to try them all if you have them at your facility!
⭐️WEAR INDICATORS
⭐️ SET UP WITH NON LATEX
⭐️ ENSURE COMFORT
If you're retracting and your hand and arms are fatigue, don't ignore the signs of prolonged numbing. You need to have a break and learn how to manage switching with different hands. I have a friend who held the scope for 3 hours straight and her arms had muscle atrophy. She was on leave for 3 months. So please, take care of yourself.
GOODLUCK FUTURE ST!

For all beginners and anyone setting up joint cases, I recommend always double gloving. You do not want to get a hole in your glove while grabbing sets. Only to realize after putting 5 sets on a table. Now you have to tear down and reset a whole joint case. Very poor form. Just double glove.
I dont break for joints lol. So double glove is it and final. They only give us like 15 mins to set up lol theres no scrubbing back out.
I certainly am THANKFUL ♥ for the glove review with technical insight that should be taught in ALL SCHOOLS for all time to come. Great work Hun.
Aww thank u!!! I tried my best but ultimately u guys should try em all. I just honestly have better experience with Eclipse Biogel. Hope you find yours!
Your videos are so helpful! Thank you for making this 💕
Love how you explain things- it makes sense to me! Thanks for your videos!
I love how tight the blue ones are
To be honest I needed to subscribe because im now going to medical school an seeing your vids might help me in class
Welcome future Doc!
The last pair are gorgeous
Hey… with the indicator gloves it‘s easy to explain: what you call yellow means uncolored natural latex, what is partly transparent. If underglove and overglove are both dry, there are 2 dry rough surfaces laying in contact an breaking the light, so the white/yellow part of reflected light is dominant.
If liquid comes between the layers, the liquid is a „filler“ that covers or fills up the open space of the rough surfaces of both gloves. It’s like a bridge for the light and transfers/reflects then the color of underglove. Therefore, top glove always needs to be uncolored…
Ahhh thank you for spilling some knowledge!!!!! I really thought it wasn't that deep but love the input!!! Tysm!
If they use 2 indictor gloves best to put the ligher color ontop. So dark blue on bottom and green ontop
Really nice video is very interesting,
one of the greatest myths of the surgeon his sterile glove
I just got into the surgical tech program 🎉🎉
We have only NON Latex gloves in our facility! Makes things easier. Nice to see all the different glove options you covered!!
Theyre not very comfy. Plus we have a great system of knowing about latex allergies.
@@SURGICALTECHGEEK thanks for you content! The suture videos were great!!
Using only NON latex / latex free gloves is the best option. Who knows who could have a latex allergy, who is at risk or will react to it. Latex gloves can be such a hassle from what i've heard, seen and learnt from those who have latex allergy. Frequent exposure to latex can also make the chance of developing a latex allergy more likely. How latex and/or latex gloves can contaminate OR, wards, etc. Even if it's non-powdered, as latex sheds latex and latex proteins. I could go on and on about it. I know way too much info about it, more than i should.
@@thestrayjay2678 our facility allows us to choose latex once we know patient isn't allergic. Whatever your research is, I don't disagree but this is what we do.
@@SURGICALTECHGEEK That's real sad to see your facility allows to use latex gloves, as that creates a risk. Sometimes the patient themselves won't know they're allergic to latex, til the last minute or it's too late. I also hate the idea of patients and staff being exposed to latex like that, especially the patient. Coz once they're exposed, that's another chance of it developing or react more (if they're already allergic). It's not worth the risk or hassle, imo. With that, I'm just like "how can u be so sure. Either take the risk, expose them to develop it or just not take the chance".
My research came from many people who have latex allergy for many many years, understand how it works, digging deep into info, self learning and more. Latex allergy is unpredictable, can happen to anyone and at anytime. Even having it mild can be quite hard and difficult to avoid exposures. Seeing latex still used in certain places, where it first started, is beyond me. There would be an outcry for peanuts covered in peanut butter used. As i have a Latex Allergy myself and know a lot of info, i always like to raise awareness, educate, give tips and speak up. Only where necessary and if it was mentioned.
I Love this, Nice.
really cool and helpful thanks ! do you have a preference where the cuff of the gown sits when gloved?
Halfway the palm is best.
After completing Bsc - OTT degree from college - what i need to get my job in Hospital - where i can get experience for that
So where I work they double glove to set up, and I found out today a reason why. 2 sets of light handles, the wrap had a hole… if the scrub was wearing 1 glove it would be complicated to replace her gloves. Since she’s double gloved, she just shed the top pair and put on a new pair. This happened TWICE.
can you show me how to put on rubber gloves
Good For All this video!!!!!! Doctor, Nurse, OSS, I Work at the Hospital!!!!! Good News!!!!!!!!! ;)
Hi surgical tech where did you get the sterile gloves from
Thanks, how do you deal when removing the outer glove to put dressing on. You put a new pair of top gloves in you case since the bottom glove is too big.
For dressing, I just take the top glove off because the indicator is clean.
@@SURGICALTECHGEEK I Love when you wear double gloves. Please do a video putting on a surgical gown and layering lots of gloves!
Next thick winter gloves
Hello! I know it varies across the country, but does the school usually find clinical rotations for the students? Or does the student apply by themselves? Thank you!
I heard both. But my school provides the site. It's hard to do on your own. Lots of back and forth
Do you think if someone is not sure about doing nursing or anything else in healthcare that surgical tech is a good starting place? I keep hearing people say to just go to nursing school but right now I just want a job that pays ok to actually pay bills. If I became a nurse I would only want to go in the OR or do IV fusion. I already have a degree and have been taking prereqs but I can do the ST program in my city if I want to now at this point. My aunt has been a surg tech for 20 yrs, she is the first person to inspire me about the OR and healthcare. For awhile I have been wanting to become a pharmacist but schooling is too long with bad prospects or MLS but also long cause of Ochem.
Either go surgical tech or sonography :) I was in nursing school- I was miserable and dropped.
i believe you and I, we are sweaty hands. what is your longest time in gloves? usually for me, after an hour i needa change a new pair. what about Ansell branded gloves? any recommend?
Yes my hands get so sweaty lol.... 8 hrs was my max. I've seen ansel and tried once and didn't like em. They're very latexyyy feel.
@@SURGICALTECHGEEK Wow, what was the occasion for wearing gloves for 8 hours?
@@SailorJaneC hearts lol minimum for hearts at our facility was 8! No breaks. Straight.
@@SURGICALTECHGEEK I see. I was under the impression that gloves had to be removed and changed every certain period of time due to them deteriorating.
@@SailorJaneC I only change gloves when it has holes or too tight or when I do dressings.
Where can I buy those blue biogel Eclipse latex gloves I can't find them anywhere
Theyre from medline I think. I don't order them so idk.
@@SURGICALTECHGEEK darn it I'm looking to buy some
@@noahlester5993 lol for whay
Bring Down the Prices of All Gloves,Now 500,000 % Thats Too Much $$ 500,000%
Hi surgery tech have some sterile gloves for you
What was that word you used????
Eh?
@@SURGICALTECHGEEK you used some big word when describing how your gloves fit
@@ericdaniel7069 exanguinate- the glove is so tight that you lose blood flow. You don't want it too tight otherwise you'll cramp up.
@@SURGICALTECHGEEK that was it. Learned a new word today!
I’ve seen CST jobs that pay 50$-60$ also I’ve heard travel jobs pay up to 3,000 per week? Is any of that actually true.
Maybe during the pandemic. I know someone who's in some special contract that makes 150/hr. It's actually insane lol.
@@SURGICALTECHGEEK WOW goals! I’ve also been searching entry level pay for a CST and it’s all over the place on sites like indeed and zip recruiter. Do you have any idea how much does an entry level make.
@@lorena7733 depends on your state and plus with inflation and pandemic, it raised it's prices
@@SURGICALTECHGEEK oooh ok. thank you. 😊
I can't stand the Biogel Surgeons.The protexis ortho is my go to for what i do
Haven't heard that one. I really hate bio surgeons. They're so tight!
@@SURGICALTECHGEEK
I want some gloves from you
Wear surgical dress and play with gloves ❤️❤️❤️❤️
