Method and a device for controlling the occurrence of perforations in operation gloves

Abstract

The invention refers to an electronic detector arranged in such a way that the electric conductivity between e.g. a surgeon and a patient can be measured. The detector is preferably placed in the shoes of the surgeon and is through contact members on one hand connected to the surgeon's body and on the other hand to the bedding on which the surgeon stands, preferably a floor having a certain electric conductivity, or a round for this purpose. By the fact that an electrically conductive operating table is electrically connected to the same bedding also the patient will be galvanically connected with said bedding. A detector arranged in this way can detect the conductivity between the surgeon and the patient and makes it possible to control possible biologic leakage, e.g. germ-containing liquid, through perforations in the operation gloves of the surgeon, at which infections in incisions can be avoided to a great extent.
