The Reasons Of Choosing Nitrile Gloves As Surgical Gloves

Doctors are a heavy profession, so they need to relax on the rest day. For example, on Saturday morning, they can put on oversized polarized acetate sunglasses after eating the bread made from the cute loaf pan and ride electric motorcycle 72v equipped with china motorcycle connecting rod kit out for a drive in the suburbs, or bring a square metal fire BBQ table to have a picnic with friends, or go to the farm and experience the feeding of chickens by putting the fodder into the poultry plastic slats happily. But in the process of rest, they may rush back to the hospital due to emergencies. Needless to say, they will definitely wear gloves to perform operations on patients.

The main purpose of surgical gloves is to act as a protective barrier to prevent the spread of diseases that may occur between healthcare professionals and patients during surgery. Besides, how much do you know about it?

The classifications of medical gloves:

The medical gloves can be divided into surgical gloves and medical examination gloves. The below is the features of surgical gloves:

• Surgical glovesmanufacturers need to meet higher levels of quality standards

• Surgical gloves are sterile, individually packaged in pairs

• The size range of surgical gloves is more precise than that of medical examination gloves

The below is the features of medical examination gloves:

Medical examination gloves help prevent contamination between caregivers and patients. These gloves are used for procedures that do not require sterile conditions, such as drawing blood for blood testing. Some of these gloves can also protect the wearer from hazardous chemicals or drugs.

The materials of medical gloves:

Latex gloves

For decades, latex has been a superstar in the world of disposable medical gloves. This is because, as Darwin Brown pointed out in the Physician Assistant, latex gloves were recommended in the 1980s and 1990s to protect against blood-borne pathogens such as HIV. But as they become more popular, there are more and more cases of allergic reactions. This has led to an increase in demand for latex-free alternatives to disposable gloves such as nitrile and vinyl. For those who are not allergic, latex gloves are comfortable, relatively cost-effective, and provide a high degree of touch.

Disposable latex gloves have a high degree of flexibility, protection and comfort, and are suitable for most medical environments-as long as latex allergy is not a problem.

Vinyl gloves

Vinyl gloves are made of petroleum-based film PVC. The main advantage of vinyl disposable gloves is their low manufacturing cost. That being said, they are not as durable as latex and nitriles, and they have limited protection against chemical or biomedical exposure. When vinyl gloves are stretched or bent, individual molecules will separate and the integrity of the protective barrier will be affected. As pointed out by the Health and Safety International Organization, vinyl gloves also send a red flag in terms of their environmental impact. Due to the low cost and low level of protection, vinyl gloves are usually used in non-hazardous and low-infection environments.

Nitrile gloves

Nitrile gloves became the leading latex substitute in the 1990s. Although they are not as elastic or flexible as latex gloves, disposable nitrile gloves are significantly more durable and chemical resistant. Therefore, these gloves are ideal for anyone who has to deal with potentially hazardous and corrosive chemicals. They are also very suitable for most medical environments, have excellent puncture resistance and eliminate the risk of latex allergic reactions.

Therefore, with the continuous update of glove technology, nitrile gloves are now commonly used in hospitals. The following are the advantages of nitrile gloves.

Advantage 1: Synthetic rubber is used to make disposable nitrile gloves, which means that nitrile gloves do not contain latex protein. This makes them the first choice for people with latex allergies. However, if the wearer is not allergic to allergies, it may still be a good idea to switch to nitrile rubber, because the user may still be in contact with people who are allergic to latex, for example, nursing staff in a nursing home may not be allergic to latex, but one of the patients may.

Advantage 2: The puncture resistance of nitrile gloves is 3 times higher than that of latex gloves. This makes them a best choice when there is a risk of exposure to blood-borne pathogens or other environmental pollutants. They are often referred to as medical grade, which means that they have undergone a series of tests to prove that they are suitable for use in these environments. They are commonly used in laboratories, hospitals and dentists and nursing settings, but are also used in the automotive market, where thicker, more puncture-resistant nitrile gloves are used to protect against motor oil and engine lubricants.

Advantage 3: Nitrile gloves also have better chemical resistance than other disposable gloves. This is because nitrile rubber has better resistance to chemicals, acids and oils than natural rubber.

Advantage 4: Nitrile gloves are powder-free, which further reduces the risk of allergies and avoid handling messy powder. The gloves are also coated with a chlorination treatment, so even if the hands are wet, they can be put on and taken off more easily. This makes these gloves very useful in food environments where gloves need to be changed frequently. Some nitrile gloves are double-chlorinated internally to provide a smooth surface for the gloves, allowing the user to wear the gloves when their hands are wet.

Advantage 5: Nitrile is also known for its dexterity and sensitivity. Therefore, these gloves can be shaped according to your hand shape, which is comfortable to wear and reduces hand fatigue. Nitrile gloves also have lower friction, which means that these gloves can be worn longer than other gloves.

Advantage 6: Since nitrile gloves are artificial, its price is more stable than latex, because it is not affected by climate and weather changes, and will not increase natural rubber when the monsoon in Malaysia prevents harvesting.

Advantage 7: The shelf life of nitrile gloves is also longer than other forms of disposable gloves, which means that the possibility of waste is less. They can also choose to have a micro-textured finish to give the glove a non-slip finish, suitable for wet and dry use.

For people who wear gloves for a long time, how to take care of their hands?

Frequent change of gloves and hand washing can irritate, dry or crack the skin. Professionals who frequently use powder-free nitrile gloves should wash their hands in cold water. Using plenty of soap to wash your hands properly will help prevent the spread of bacteria and infections. Hot water can dry the skin, causing it to crack or break. Avoid using alcohol-based soaps as much as possible. Soak your hands dry instead of rubbing them. Drying your hands can damage delicate or irritated skin.

When you are not using nitrile gloves, it is important to moisturize the skin with an ointment or moisturizer. Resolve cracks, splits, or broken skin. Treat any wounds with liquid bandages. Traditional bandages usually cannot be used the next time you wash your hands. If there is no liquid bandage, use a moisture-proof bandage. The common way to improve dry skin is to apply a thick ointment or moisturizer and wear cotton gloves while sleeping. Cotton gloves help retain moisture while preventing staining.
