Werner Maximilian Friedrich Zoege von Manteuffel (13 July 1857, in Määri, Estonia – 14 March 1926, in Tallinn, Estonia) was a Baltic German medical surgeon. He was the earliest advocate of sterilised gloves.[1]
He studied at the University of Dorpat (Tartu) and became a doctor in 1886.
He published an article in 1897 recommending surgeons use rubber gloves and boil them in water before wearing them.[2] At the time most doctors operated with their bare hands, or wore gloves of cotton, leather, or other absorbent materials.
