What's the difference between exam gloves and surgical gloves?

Exam gloves are used for general procedures and patient care, while surgical gloves are used for surgeries and other sterile procedures. Surgical gloves are typically of higher quality, offer a more secure fit, and are subject to more rigorous quality control.

Are all medical gloves latex-free?

Not all medical gloves are latex-free, though many are made from alternative materials like nitrile or vinyl to accommodate those with latex allergies. Always check the glove material if you or your patients have a latex allergy.

How often should I change my medical gloves?

You should change your gloves between patients and between different tasks on the same patient to prevent cross-contamination. Gloves should also be replaced immediately if they become damaged or contaminated.

Can medical gloves protect against all types of pathogens?

While medical gloves provide a good barrier against many types of pathogens, they are not 100% foolproof. They should be used with other protective measures like frequent hand washing and appropriate handling of sharps.

How do I know if my gloves are still effective?

Gloves should be checked for visible damage or wear before use. They should be discarded and replaced if they are torn, punctured, or showing signs of wear. Over time, stored gloves can degrade, so it's important to use gloves within their recommended shelf life.

Do all medical gloves offer the same level of dexterity and sensitivity?

Different types of gloves offer varying levels of dexterity and sensitivity. Latex gloves provide the highest level of sensitivity and are often preferred for procedures requiring a high degree of precision. Nitrile gloves also offer good sensitivity and are more puncture-resistant.

How should medical gloves be stored?

Medical gloves should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. They should be kept in their original packaging until use to protect them from damage and contamination.
