Wax paste and vaccination: alternatives to surgical gloves for infection control, 1880-1945 (2021)

unapi

In This chapter explores the use of innovative technologies for infection control in surgical operations. Beginning with the uptake of surgical gloves in the late nineteenth century, the author explains the relative disinterest of many surgeons by situating their use in the context of other contemporary strategies of infection control. He demonstrates that technological change in surgery and infection control does not happen in a vacuum: understanding of the alternatives to surgical gloves that were not taken up is necessary to explain the evolution of modern surgery and infection control.
