The difference between normal examination & medical grade gloves


When you work in the medical field,whether in an emergency room or a dental office,you always want to have the right type of disposable glove on hand.Many industries outside of medicine require the use of disposable gloves,giving rise to the creation of disposable industrial gloves.Now that there are different grades of glove,how do you know which one is right for your practice?

Some would argue that industrial gloves would work better than medical-grade gloves.Not really, although the industrial gloves we see are used to carry heavy things, and they look strong and durable.Yes,in a way.But only in industry

 

Gloves for different purposes have different standards

 

If you intend to use it for medical or hospital use, you must meet FDA requirements for adequate quality control and durability testing,including the following specific requirements:

 

1. Puncture resistance

 

2. Tear strength tension

 

3. Chemical resistance

 

The endorsement gives medical practitioners a certain peace of mind when using a specific nitrile glove in surgery or exams. However,it is important to note that a nitrile exam glove that does not meet the FDA’s regulations is likely still safe to use. Even so,it shouldn’t be used in a medical capacity.


Are Medical Gloves Stronger Than Industrial Gloves?

 

This is both true and false at the same time.Medical gloves are stronger than industrial gloves when it comes to using them for a medical exam or in surgery.Remember,the only difference between the two is the certification by the FDA.Industrial gloves may be made of the same materials, but fail to meet their requirements to earn the certification.That does not mean you should choose a medical exam glove over an industrial glove if you’re working as a mechanic or in a factory.

What You Should Know About Disposable Gloves

While disposable gloves are often used in a medical or industrial setting, they also have many uses around the home and workplace that don't involve touching a patient in an exam room or a specimen in a lab. In order to see which gloves performed the best, we put them through a series of experiments.   •  Durability  —We took a box cutter to each glove, and determined its durability by rating how easy it was to slice through the glove material. •  Resistance to tearing  —One the glove had a slice in it, we added weights that hung from the torn glove to see how much weight it would take for the glove to be torn apart when it was already damaged. •  Temperature resistance  —After setting the water temperature to "uncomfortably hot", we stuck our glove-covered hands under the water to see how long it took for us to actually feel the burn. •  Chemical resistance  —With most disposable gloves, if you get some sort of chemical (like a heavy-duty cleaning agent) on them, after a

The Best Guide to Textured Gloves

    The inner surface of your gloves needs to be smooth and comfortable. Have you ever thought about the glove’s outer surface? Textured gloves happen to have a rough outer surface. What are textured gloves? Have you ever examined the outer surface of a glove and noticed indentations? I am sure you have. These are what we call textured gloves.  Unlike regular gloves, they have patterns on their outer surface. These patterns can be straight lines, sand-like exteriors, dots, or geometrical shapes. Thus, you will find that there are 3 types of gloves: smooth, micro-roughened, and aggressively textured. So, let’s differentiate between the three types. Micro-roughened gloves This type of texture is most common in manufacturing latex and nitrile gloves. Micro-roughened nitrile gloves constitute 95% of manufactured nitrile gloves. These gloves will look as if they have tiny sand particles on their outer surface.  Thus, this provides a moderate option between smooth gloves and aggressively tex
