Acupuncturists and blood collectors use disposable gloves?

Before talking about acupuncturist, let us talk about the blood collector first. the gloves are more for the Phlebotomists’ protection, but not everyone’s vein were detectable with gloves on in the early time. Some people managed to train themselves able to do it both with and without gloves, because in the end it was more of an instinct developed by experiences. Nonetheless, this may made their job very difficult and caused undue stress for certain patients. However, that causes happened in the old times. Now with the development of technology and science on all aspects, you could find that all the doctores and working stuffs in hospital are with disposable gloves, including blood collectors. They could easily find the vein with gloves on and it protects themselves and patients, in avoid of cross infection effectively.

Acupuncture can be similar. Although someone could say we are required to have heaps of anatomical training in order to provide safe and effective needling. This is more complicated than simply taking blood off elbow, wrist and fingers. Not to mention our fingers are also a scanning tool providing us information for diagnosis, such as temperature, texture, moisture and how does the underlying tissue feel like…etc. The only thing gloves are good for is protecting the Acupuncturists themselves from getting any infectious bio material splattering unto their (maybe broken) skin. It doesn't help them locate and feel for acupoints. However, for professional acupuncturists, it is an easy case for them to do the acupuncture with disposable gloves and it is really a good way to protect especially during this covid-19 time.


No matter for blood collectors nor acupuncturists, disposable gloves are always a good protection. Nowadays, disposable gloves are widely used in all aspects of people life.

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 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
