Surgical examination gloves are single-use protective gloves designed to maintain hygiene and prevent cross-contamination during medical procedures. They act as a barrier between healthcare professionals and patients, reducing the risk of infection transmission.
These gloves are commonly made from:
- Nitrile (Synthetic rubber): Strong, puncture-resistant, and latex-free—ideal for people with allergies
- Latex (Natural rubber): Highly flexible and comfortable but may cause allergies in some users
- Vinyl: Cost-effective but less durable
Most modern gloves are powder-free to avoid skin irritation and contamination. They often feature textured fingertips for better grip and control during procedures.
High-quality gloves comply with international standards (like ASTM & EN), ensuring safety against fluids, chemicals, and microorganisms.
