Abstract
Dusting powders are commonly used on surgical gloves, examination glov es, and condoms. In addition, they are used in diaphragms, sanitary na pkins, and toiletries. These dusting powders can gain access to the ab dominal cavity through the vagina or through surgical intervention. Th e toxicity of these dusting powders in the abdominal cavity can be div ided into acute and chronic complications that may be life-threatening . The use of medical and surgical products without dusting powders is strongly recommended.
