AbstractDusting powders are commonly used on surgical gloves, examination gloves, and condoms. In addition, they are used in diaphragms, sanitary napkins, and toiletries. These dusting powders can gain access to the abdominal cavity through the vagina or through surgical intervention. The toxicity of these dusting powders in the abdominal cavity can be divided into acute and chronic complications that may be life-threatening. The use of medical and surgical products without dusting powders is strongly recommended.
