Glove material

Medical disposable gloves, the two most common materials are nitrile and latex. Disposable medical latex gloves are made of natural rubber, with good elasticity and soft texture, to provide comfortable hand flexibility.

Types of gloves

Especially when the medical staff is examining or doing surgery, the powder inside the disposable medical gloves will not accidentally enter the patient's body and affect the diagnosis or treatment results.

Precautions

Drugs that may degrade and penetrate through gloves are glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde, xylene, hypochlorite solution, alcohol, chemotherapy drugs, grease, petroleum ointment, non-polymeric bone cement, and many other disinfectants, germicides, and general chemicals, so it is good to bring double gloves when encountering these drugs.

When the tape, logo, ECG, or other sticky material is stuck on the disposable gloves, not easy to remove, will also destroy the protective barrier of the gloves, then the strong removal will tear the gloves, should draw attention.

Smooth disposable gloves can also affect the safety of use. Sharps, glass tubes, vacuum vials, and metal instruments can slip off, especially when surgical disposable gloves are wet, increasing the risk of breaking the glove while treating the patient, which can lead to the spread of infection. Use gloves with a mesh pattern and no lubricant to get a firmer grip.

Long nails and jewelry cannot only be a "safe haven" for infectious agents but can also puncture medical disposable gloves. When wearing gloves should routinely manicure nails, remove jewelry, artificial nails can cause a lot of trouble, even after effective scrubbing, it is not easy to wash away the fungus and bacteria left in the nails, artificial nails may hook the gloves, making it more difficult to wear gloves.
