Changing Gloves While Maintaining Containment
Changing the glove while in operation to maintain containment is possible and can become easy with practice.
1. Pull glove and sleeve inside-out of the work area.
2. Remove the glove O-ring.
3. Roll the existing glove’s cuff down to the first groove in the GOS (the one closest to your body).
4. Take a new glove and stuff it inside of the existing glove leaving the cuff out and ensuring the thumb is
pointed up.
5. Stretch the new glove’s cuff over the old one up to the middle groove of the GOS.
6. Secure the new glove with the glove O-ring at the middle groove of the GOS.
7. Push the glove and sleeve back into the work area.
8. Reach into the work area through another glove and grab the new glove assembly. At this point the
glove exposed to the work area is the old glove with the new glove trapped behind it.
9. With two fingers, carefully work the old glove off of the GOS from inside the work area. It will begin to
come free in one spot. Work the free spot around the perimeter of the GOS removing the old glove.
10. Dispose of the old glove through the waste tubes and push a hand into the new glove.
