Choosing the Right Medical Gloves for You

Medical gloves may appear to serve the same purposes, such as protecting you from biohazards and preventing patient contamination. But every facet of the glove matters for the varying tasks at hand.

Gloves should be worn any time that you come into contact with a patient’s bodily fluids, such as blood, urine, or vomit. Below, we’ll explore some of the differences between each type of medical glove, helping you find the perfect fit.

Surgical vs. Exam

The most crucial difference between surgical and examination gloves is their sterility.

Surgical gloves must be sterile because they come into direct contact with the patient’s bodily fluids and internal organs, making the risk for contamination between the patient and medical personnel high.

Examination gloves are appropriate for tasks and appointments where the patient’s body is not so open to contamination, such as drawing blood, checking for breast lumps, or other physical examinations.

Sterile vs. Non-Sterile

Sterile gloves go through a process of sterilization before packaging. This process removes all bacteria, viruses, and other dangers from the gloves, preparing them for contact with the patient’s fluids or organs.

Nonsterile gloves have not gone through the same sterilization process.

They are clean in their box, but their packaging does not entirely prevent bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms from touching the gloves and exposing the patient.

Materials

Common materials used in medical gloves include the following:

  • Nitrile
  • Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
  • Polyurethane
  • Latex

While latex is a natural rubber material, many people still develop latex allergies.

It’s important to know if you are allergic to latex so that you can choose a synthetic option (PVC, nitrile, or polyurethane) to avoid allergic reactions. If you are not allergic to latex, latex gloves will offer a slight advantage in dexterity and comfort.

Chemo-Tested

Chemo-tested gloves undergo rigorous testing to ensure they are safe to use with chemotherapy treatments. To protect yourself, these gloves must be highly resistant to permeation from chemotherapeutic agents.

Chemo-tested gloves are of the highest quality and considered the best for protection against both chemicals and microorganisms.

Sizes, Cuff Lengths, and Colors

Medical gloves should be snug to the skin but comfortable. Gloves that are too loose can bunch around your wrists and fingers, limiting mobility and allowing pathogens to enter the gloves through the opening more easily.

Gloves that are too tight can present a problem as well, cutting off circulation to your hands and becoming more prone to holes and tears in the material. A perfectly fitted glove should slide onto your hand comfortably, without pinching, bunching, or twisting.

Cuff lengths and glove colors can also matter for the intended use of the gloves. An extended cuff length is appropriate for surgeries or other procedures where you are more exposed to bodily fluids.

Our Reversible Black-Fire Exam Gloves are specially colored to make the glove’s tears or holes highly visible. These gloves are ideal for situations with a high risk for contamination.

Conclusion

Here at Allied USA, we offer the best in quality and affordability of medical gloves for every need. Gloves can be purchased by the box or the case, with case sizes ranging between 200 and 2500 gloves each. Browse our selection of medical gloves and other medical supplies today!
