Safest glove preference?


Which glove combination is safest against needle sticks? I'm thinking biogel indicator gloves under biogel ortho gloves.

I love the Biogel Indicator gloves, I like the fact that they show through when the top glove has been compromised.

I do indicators under the orthos. I actually cannot get over how many of my co-workers still single-glove for any procedures, yet if they learn that their current pt. has HIV or HBV, they'll double glove. I double glove simply because you DON'T know what the heck people have nowadays.
