How is your port accessed?

My daughter only had one band-fill. I saw the surgeon access the port with his bare hands. He had a very difficult time 20-30 minutes of trying to acess her - she was bleeding. A few days later she develpoed an infection & she battled the infection for months, the infection almost took her life. I want to know if surgeons typically use gloves when they access ports. Please tell me your experiences.
