Medical gloves are categorized in many ways, with different materials for different purposes, among which rubber and latex are the main materials for gloves. In addition to rubber and latex, medical gloves are also available in nitrile gloves, polyethylene gloves, polyvinyl chloride gloves, etc., of which nitrile gloves are the best and ideal glove material at present.
General medical gloves are latex and rubber, which can be used for surgical examination, operation, etc., but they are usually disposable gloves, which should be thrown away after use. If someone is allergic to latex, nitrile gloves can come in handy. Nitrile gloves not only fit highly on the hand, but also are soft and flexible like latex gloves.
Medical gloves are also divided into sterilized gloves and non-sterilized gloves, in which sterilized gloves are mostly used in surgical examinations, including demanding medical operations such as surgical operations, childbirth, central catheter placement, and configuration of total parenteral nutritional solution, etc., so the gloves must be sufficiently soft and close to the hand to avoid operating errors.
