A surgical student with small hands but large forearms cannot find surgical gloves that fit properly, causing them to either roll down or balloon up during open gloving procedures, leading to poor dexterity and arm pain.

Standard surgical glove sizing does not accommodate individuals with disproportionate hand and forearm measurements, and existing advice from tutors and nurses is inadequate.
