I totally agree with wearing gloves, my statement was to indicate that pressure is pressure. The gloves protect you, they (and the gauze) do not help the pressure, they are for other reasons. The bare hand works just as well for the pressure, but it does not protect you (or the patient). I keep gloves in all my kits and in my EDC bag. Do remember to replace gloves, on a regular basis. Especially those subject to heat and light. They do deteriorate, especially latex ones but nitrile as well. JHertig, Unless you carry sterile gloves packaged in sterile packaging, there is no difference. It depends on how and where you have been carrying them. Outside the operating room I have seen very few sterile gloves. The patient is probably better off if you carry non-powereed gloves, but in an emergency I would use them over no gloves. Respectfully, Jerry
