STERILIZATION & PACKAGING UNIT OF LATEX GLOVES
[CODE NO.3950]
Gloves are single-use items and should not be washed or reused. Polythene: Thin and have a tendency to tear. They are not an appropriate choice for healthcare settings. Vinyl: Have been shown to be less effective than latex gloves in providing an impermeable barrier against microorganisms.
Disposable medical gloves are available in nitrile, latex and vinyl materials. Any gloves worn by health professionals should be free of powder, sterile, textured and coated for extra protection. Nitrile tends to be the most favored glove material for those working in the healthcare industry.
A disposable glove is commonly made from natural or synthetic rubber that covers the whole hand and is used to protect the wearer against harmful environmental influences and/ or used by caregivers in health care to protect themselves and patients from infections. As the name implies, disposable gloves are designed for single use only and should be disposed immediately after use.
Sterilization:
It is a process by which an article, surface or medium is made free of all microorganisms either in vegetative or spore form. Ethylene oxide gas is commonly used to sterilize objects sensitive to temperatures greater than 60 °C and / or radiation such as plastics, optics and electrics. It can kill all known viruses, bacteria and fungi, including bacterial spores and is compatible with most materials (e.g. of medical devices), even when repeatedly applied. However, it is highly flammable, toxic and carcinogenic.
A typical process consists of a preconditioning phase, the actual sterilization run and a period of post-sterilization aeration to remove toxic residues, such as ethylene oxide residues.
