Gloves, masks, gowns, aprons, eyewear and headcovers are important barriers that help prevent the spread of infection between healthcare workers and patients. Gloves must be changed between each patient contact, while masks contain droplets expelled during speech or coughing. Gowns and aprons protect clothing and skin from contaminated fluids. Eyewear and headcovers shield the eyes, hair and scalp from accidental splashes or shedding of particles into wounds during procedures.
