Subjective effects of double gloves on surgical performance

"We conclude that double gloves often protect the surgeon against needle perforations, but are felt to impair comfort, sensitivity and dexterity."
"Our study, based on subjective assessment during operations, shows that double gloves did not 'feel' right."

Surgical gloves are about 10 mil thick, which is 0.25 mm. Double gloves is about 0.5 mm.
This puts minshoes in perspective!

I sure miss the days of wet fingered dentistry. That's how we did it in school, and for ten years post- graduation.
Latex was bad enough, but vinyl really bites.
Oh well, there's no going back.

I still remember the taste of soapy fingers! I think that I appreciate the more subtle flavors of gloved hands.
