Disposable Gloves

What are single-use gloves used for?

Single-use disposable gloves are critical personal protective equipment (PPE) frequently employed in the medical, automotive, food, and cleaning industries. These gloves are crucial to protecting people and preventing the spread of germs and exposure to hazardous materials.

What are the different types of gloves?

Disposable gloves are often made from vinyl, latex, nitrile, or polyethylene. Each type of glove has its strengths: latex gloves offer great sensitivity and dexterity; nitrile gloves are strong, puncture-resistant, and great for those with latex allergies; vinyl gloves are cost-effective but less durable; and polyethylene gloves are lightweight and often used for light-duty tasks.

I'm allergic to latex. What type of disposable gloves should I use?

If you have a latex allergy, consider using nitrile or vinyl gloves. Both are latex-free and offer good protection, although nitrile gloves are more durable, vinyl gloves are a better bang for your buck.

Can disposable gloves protect me from viruses and bacteria?

Yes, when used correctly, disposable medical gloves can provide a protective barrier against certain viruses and bacteria. However, they must be used with proper hand hygiene and should be changed when needed to prevent cross-contamination.

Do disposable gloves expire?

Manufacturers may include an expiration date because disposable gloves can degrade and become less effective over time. It's recommended to store them in a cool, dry place and use them within five years of purchase.

Can I use hand sanitizer or wash my hands while wearing disposable gloves?

While technically possible, using hand sanitizer on disposable gloves or washing them is generally not recommended, as this can degrade the material and reduce its effectiveness. Changing your gloves regularly and cleaning your hands properly each time you remove a pair is best.
