SURGICAL & EXAMINATION GLOVES
(LATEX, NITRILE & NEOPRENE)
[CODE NO. 3065]
Medical gloves
Medical gloves are medical safety accessories that ensure sanitary hospital conditions by limiting patients' exposure to
infectious matter. They also serve to protect health professionals from disease through contact with bodily fluids.
Medical gloves are traditionally made of latex and powdered with cornstarch to lubricate the gloves, making them easier to
don. Cornstarch replaced Lycopodium powder and/or talc but since cornstarch can also impede healing if it gets into tissues
(as during surgery), non-powdered gloves are being used more often during surgery and other sensitive procedures. Special
manufacturing processes are used to compensate for the lack of powder.
Medical gloves can further be divided into two,
• Surgical (surgeon’s) gloves
• Examination gloves
A surgical (surgeon’s) glove is a device made of natural or synthetic rubber intended to be worn by operating room personnel
to protect a surgical wound from contamination.
Surgical gloves have more precise sizing (numbered sizing, generally from size 5.5 to size 9), and are made to higher
specifications. They are hand specific. Due to the increasing rate of latex allergy among health professionals as well as in
the general population, there has been an increasing move to gloves made of non-latex materials such as vinyl or nitrile
rubber. However, these gloves have not yet replaced latex gloves in surgical procedures, as gloves made of alternate
materials generally do not fully match the fine control or greater sensitivity to touch available with latex surgical
gloves. High-grade non-latex gloves (such as nitrile gloves) also cost two or more times the price of their latex
counterparts, a fact that has often prevented switching to these alternate materials in costsensitive environments, such as
many hospitals.
Powder-free medical gloves are also used in medical clean room environments, where the need for cleanliness is often similar
to that in a sensitive medical environment. Similar but specially tested gloves are used in electronics clean rooms.
