Reports of percutaneous transmission of blood-borne disease emphasize the need for control of intraoperative contamination. In a randomized prospective study, surgeons and surgical assistants involved in total hip and total knee arthroplasty adopted the following protocol: total body exhaust with hood, aspirator, knee-length impermeable gowns, foot covers, including knee-high covers and waterproof covers, and one of three combinations of gloving protocols: latex/latex changed hourly, latex/cloth, or latex/cloth/latex. All inner gloves were tested by a leak test. All needles and sharp instruments were passed on trays, and all contaminations and perforations were recorded. Each surgeon and assistant was inspected twice for contamination. There were no needle sticks, and only one of 267 personnel had head, neck, body, leg, or foot contamination. Perforation rates of inner gloves were 9.2% for latex/latex, 7.9% for latex/cloth, and 4.3% for latex/cloth/latex.
