<p>An improved surgical glove, powdered to serve as a lubricant, is provided by using a polyol powder as the lubricant. The use of a polyol powder as the powdering agent for use on surgical gloves avoids the problem of starch peritonitis that has been reported upon in medical literature. In one preferred application, polyol powder is dusted onto the side of the glove that will be the glove, exterior, or patient-contact surface of the glove when used. Alternatively, polyol powder is dusted onto both surfaces of the glove. Experiments have suggested that an aqueous/electrolyte solution that includes F-68 polyol would be useful for peritoneal or other thoracic lavage. F-68 can also be used alone or in combination with other polyol powders, such as F-38, L101 or L121 as a colloidal suspension/emulsion or as an aqueous/electrolyte solution for the preventative treatment of abnormal scar tissue formation.</p> |
