Subject: autoclaving

Is it possible to reuse a chlorinated powderfree surgical glove after autoclave sterilization. If so what are the conditions to be maintained for autoclaving a powderfree chlorinated glove without affecting the properties of the glove

Dear Joseph

In Europe reprocessing of surgical gloves is not recommended i.e. most Hospital use single-use gloves. Even so I think the following Infection Prevention Guideline can give you the required information.
Google-search with the keyword "PROCESSING SURGICAL GLOVES" and click on "APPENDIX C": http://www.reproline.jhu.edu/english/4morerh/4ip/IP_manual/C_Gloves.pdf
