Disposable medical gloves on the market are mixed and of varying quality. Choose gloves with full certificates and clear markings from regular medical glove manufacturers for process traceability and to avoid unnecessary risks.
On the back of qualified medical gloves, the name of the certificate (CFDA), the record number, the product technical requirement number, the country of origin, the date of manufacture, the shelf life and the production lot number are clearly printed.
2, glove material
Disposable medical gloves, the two most common materials are nitrile and latex. Disposable medical latex gloves are made of natural rubber, which has good elasticity and soft texture to provide comfort for your hands.
Nitrile gloves perfectly memorize the movements of your hand and do not become fatigued when worn for long periods of time. Choose high quality natural nitrile, which is not easy to cause allergy. It is the first choice for medical personnel who are allergic to latex protein or have sensitive skin. It is puncture-resistant and creates a protective barrier on the surface of the healthcare worker's hand to minimize the skin of the hand that has been scratched by medical equipment.
The "micropitting" surface of both materials provides a firm grip, so medical staff can carry surgical instruments without dropping them, which could pose a safety hazard. You can choose nitrile or latex gloves depending on your preference, but from an overall comfort and technical standpoint, we recommend nitrile gloves.
3, glove type
In terms of location, medical gloves are usually categorized into examination gloves and surgical gloves. Medical examination gloves are usually used to examine the patient's mouth or skin surface, and must contain CFDA test drug safety certification. Superior tensile strength and abrasion resistance can accommodate a variety of weak acid and alkaline environments within human skin.
Surgical gloves require a higher margin of safety based on the safety requirements needed for examination gloves. It requires further sterilization and individual packaging. It also conforms to the ergonomic curved hand shape and fits snugly and comfortably on all five fingers.
Superior moisture control maintains the shape and comfort of the glove for healthcare workers to wear and safely operate medical equipment, even during prolonged operations.
5, Powder-Free Gloves Superior to Powdered Gloves
Gloves on the market also feature powder and powder-free. To ensure safety, the company and Labor Network add dust to powdered medical latex gloves, which are food-grade cornstarch that is absorbed by the body and easy to wear.
In the medical field, it is safer to use powder-free medical latex gloves. Powder-free gloves are soft to the touch and comfortable to wear because they are made from advanced powder-free PU polymer coating technology. Especially when the medical staff conducts examination or surgery, the powder in the medical gloves will not be mistaken for the patient, and will not affect the diagnosis or treatment results. In other areas, such as household cleaning, using powdered ones will be more convenient to put on and take off.
