One of the most important things to remember about utilizing throw away gloves is that gloves are not designed to be worn indefinitely. Even durable medical grade gloves should be changed at regular intervals to protect both the patient and the caregiver.

Don’t be fooled into thinking any pair of latex gloves is good enough to play doctor in, though, EN 455 is as vigorous test as any of the seemingly ‘tougher’ standards, to make sure their accredited PPE can save hands from contamination and even help save lives.
