Gloves are a critical component of personal protective equipment, but they do not guarantee the prevention of specimen contamination. Contamination can also occur due to improper specimen handling, collection techniques, or if the gloves themselves become contaminated and then come into contact with the specimen. Hence, it is essential to follow strict protocols to minimize the risk of contamination at every step of the collection and handling process.
