Abstract: Medical gloves are disposable protective gloves. They are mainly used to place cross-infection between doctors and patients and protect doctors' hands from injury.There are many kinds of medical gloves, including latex, nitrile, polyethylene and POLYvinyl chloride.Medical gloves can be divided into sterilized gloves and non-sterilized gloves according to their working properties.Some disposable medical gloves are produced with a coat of cornmeal or talcum powder, which has less friction and is more slippery.Here's a look at medical gloves.

What is the material of medical gloves

Medical gloves are protective gloves worn to prevent hands from being smudged or cross-infected by microorganisms. Due to the high frequency of replacement, disposable gloves are generally used.In addition to preventing infection, medical gloves can be used to protect against chemical damage or to reduce sharp objects.Doctors wearing medical gloves are responsible not only for themselves, but also for their patients to reduce cross-infection between doctors and patients.

In medicine, medical gloves are mainly made of latex gloves, nitrile gloves, PE gloves and PVC gloves. Nitrile gloves are highly compatible with hand skin and have strong comfort. They are suitable for non-aseptic operation in high-risk contact with blood or body fluids and are the most ideal medical gloves.

What are the types of medical gloves

1. Sterilization gloves

Also known as surgical sterilization gloves, they are disposable protective gloves for medical use in a sterile environment. They are mainly used for operations requiring high degree of sterility, such as surgical operation, delivery, central catheter placement, preparation of total parenteral nutrient solution, etc.

2. Non-sterilized gloves

(1) Cleaning inspection gloves: clean non-sterile, disposable;It is used in direct or indirect contact with the blood, body fluids, secretions, excreta and articles obviously contaminated by body fluids.

(2) Housekeeping gloves: clean and reusable;It is mainly used for cleaning the surface of the environment without direct contact with the human body. Housekeeping gloves can be used.

Three, disposable medical latex gloves have powder and powder - free difference

Some medical latex gloves on gloves coated a layer of white powdery object, this is because the ordinary gloves is wet, dry and rubber gloves, long time use will stick together, so in the process of production, manufacturer can add corn flour or talcum powder in the gloves, in order to reduce friction, on the one hand gloves to prevent adhesion, on the other hand is for the convenience of wear.The main difference between the two is that powder gloves have less friction and stronger anti-skid ability.

Generally speaking, both have their own advantages and disadvantages, and different industry also needs to the two different gloves, such as electrostatic powder industry choice is without gloves, such as electronic industry and medical industry, because the environment requires dust-free clean, because the environment itself rarely have dust, so there are powder gloves used in these industries are not appropriate;Gloves with powder are more commonly used in the food industry.
