Disposable gloves

Disposable gloves are personal protective equipment used to protect hands and various surfaces and objects from the spread of microorganisms that could potentially contaminate a sterile environment, spreading infection. In healthcare settings, disposable gloves are part of the infection control strategy. They are used in diagnosis, treatment, pharmaceutical facilities, and laboratory settings. Once used, these protective equipment are not reapplied. They are disposed of as they can leave traces of bodily fluids such as saliva, blood, urine, as well as chemicals, medications.

It is important to remember that a disposable glove does not protect against sharp objects piercing the skin. Therefore, if you work with sharp objects such as needles, be extremely careful.

What types of disposable gloves there are 

Disposable gloves can be sterile or non-sterile:

• Sterile designs are used in operating rooms, laboratories, anywhere where it is important to prevent a patient from becoming infected or to eliminate the spread of infection. Sterile gloves are usually individually packaged.
• Non-sterile gloves are perceived more as personal protective equipment, i.e. they exclude contact of human hands with unwanted media. Non-sterile disposable gloves are usually taken out of a box or container. You can buy 100 pcs disposable gloves inexpensively in a single pack.

Disposable gloves are made of latex (rubber), nitrile or vinyl:

• Latex gloves are made from a natural substance found in rubber trees. They fit snugly to the hand while providing accurate and high tactile sensitivity. This makes latex gloves a popular disposable option in all industries. Latex gloves offer the highest level of protection against viruses and bacteria. However, against chemicals, this option has a weaker barrier compared to other types of gloves. Latex can also cause allergies. Plus products - a low price compared to analogs from other materials.
• Nitrile gloves are made of synthetic rubber. They are more durable, dense, superior to other types in terms of resistance to punctures and chemical attack. They rarely cause allergies. Disposable nitrile gloves are resistant to more chemicals compared to latex and vinyl gloves. They are the best choice if there are oils and solvents to be handled and are therefore widely used in the food industry. Because of their high resistance, they have become the most preferred option in laboratories and various medical facilities with a high risk of contamination.
• Vinyl gloves beat all others in terms of price. They are not as durable as their rubber counterparts and are suitable for short, low-risk tasks. They are usually used to minimize the risk of cross-contamination. 

All disposable gloves are manufactured in several size options. 

Features of disposable gloves

Gloves should fit snugly but not be too tight. If the gloves are too large, they can slip or make it difficult to grasp objects. If they are too small, they restrict hand movement and may tear due to excessive tension. If this happens, replace the nitrile or latex disposable gloves immediately. Medical gloves should not be reused. They are not washed and disinfected, and immediately after use they are thrown away.
