Doctors, nurses, caregivers, dentists and other healthcare workers typically use examination gloves. The risk of the job should be taken into account when deciding between latex, vinyl and nitrile exam gloves. Latex and nitrile gloves are commonly used when dealing with high-risk situations involving blood, bodily fluids or patients with infectious diseases. Both latex and vinyl gloves can be used for low-risk, general procedures such as a non-invasive physical exam. Surgical gloves are higher quality and designed specifically for the accuracy and sensitivity required by surgeons. Sterile vs. Non-Sterile Gloves Sterile gloves are used primarily for surgical purposes. Sterile gloves must meet FDA standards based on an acceptable quality level of pinholes.

What are the best gloves for labs? Nitrile is the best material for labs and lab technicians because of its comfort, puncture resistance, and broad chemical resistance. Gloves must be worn when handling hazardous chemicals. When choosing between nitrile gloves, ensure the material is thick enough for your hazard. A material that is too thin will tear easily, but a too thick glove will hamper tactile feedback. Striking a balance between the two is essential, so we recommend starting at 3.5 miles and working your way up. What 3 considerations determine lab gloves? There are 3 questions to ask yourself when choosing lab gloves: 1. What is the breakthrough time of the chemical hazard I am handling? 2. What is the permeation rate of the chemical hazard I am handling? How long do I have before the chemical dissolves the glove material? 3. What is the degradation rating of the glove I choose? Will the glove swell, shrink, crack or tear? Breakthrough time, permeation rate, and degradation rati

Approximately 20% of these injuries were handling related, so ensuring workers are wearing the correct safety gloves is of the utmost importance and vital for avoiding injury, upholding the correct health and safety regulations and avoiding expensive days off due to injury. WHY    CHOOSING    THE    RIGHT    SAFETY    GLOVES    IS IMPORTANT If there is one thing more important than ensuring workers are wearing safety gloves, it is ensuring workers are wearing the correct safety gloves for the specific industry and tasks they perform on the job. Wearing the wrong safety gloves won’t protect the wearer from all the potential hazards in their environment. There are some considerations that need to be made when choosing safety gloves.
