If you need to buy medical gloves, you first need to clarify your needs, such as whether you want sterile or non-sterile, powdered or powder-free,.etc.
In this article, we'll walk you through the following:
Standard Length Gloves VS Extended Length Gloves
Sterile Gloves VS Non Sterile Gloves
Powdered Gloves VS Powder-Free Gloves
While there are a variety of specialty glove types to choose from, you will often come across two main designs: standard-length gloves and extended-length gloves.
In addition to design and material, the sterility of the glove is also a key factor.
Sterile gloves are a necessity when conducting surgical procedures and internal examinations to minimize the risk of contamination and infection. These gloves are sterilized and individually wrapped before they are used to maximize protection. They are especially important for patients with weakened immune systems.
Non sterile gloves are gloves that have not been processed for sterilization and are used for general examination purposes, such as examining glands, for patients who have little risk of infection. Although they are not as thoroughly manufactured as their sterile counterparts, non sterile gloves are still considered safe to use.
Powdered gloves may make it easier to put them on and take them off, but the powder can be a carrier for allergens and can irritate the skin, causing allergic reactions and potentially contaminating the environment. Furthermore, inhaling the powder may cause problems for people with respiratory conditions. For this reason, powder gloves are not suitable for sensitive or invasive procedures.
The advancement of related technologies has led to the development of powder-free gloves, which are much easier to put on and take off than powdered gloves and eliminate the unpleasant lumpy and mushy feeling when putting them on. These gloves have been chlorinated or coated with polymers on their surfaces.
