    Objective: Systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of the use of double gloves compared to the use of single gloves in hospitals to reduce percutaneous injuries and cross infections in health personnel. Materials and Methods: systematic review, 10 full-text articles were chosen, where 1 belongs to Finland, 2 to the USA, 1 to Nigeria, 2 to China, 2 to Spain, 1 to Mexico and 1 to the United Kingdom respectively. Quantitative studies and design corresponding to systematic reviews (4), Prospective (2), Clinical Trial (3) and Experimental (1) were reviewed. Results: Of the articles reviewed, 100% indicate that the use of double gloves compared to the use of single gloves in hospitals is more effective in terms of protection and reduction of percutaneous injuries and cross infections. Conclusions: The use of double or double-layer gloves considerably reduces the incidence of percutaneous injuries and therefore definitively reduces cross infections due to exposure to pathogens.
