Abstract
The use of long sleeves and gloves while applying the skin preparation solution decreased particulate and microbial shedding in several of the operating rooms tested. Although long sleeves may not be necessary for all operating room personnel, they may decrease airborne contamination while the skin prep is applied, which may lead to decreased surgical site infections.
