Disposable gloves for small science

Gloves significantly reduce the risk of two-way transmission of pathogens, protecting both patients and medical personnel. The use of gloves can reduce blood on the surface of sharp instruments by 46% to 86%, but overall, wearing gloves during medical operations can reduce blood exposure to the skin from 11.2% to 1.3%.
The use of double gloves reduces the chance of puncturing the innermost glove. Therefore, the choice of whether to use double gloves at work or during surgery should be based on the hazard and type of work, balancing occupational safety with the comfort and sensitivity of the hands during surgery. Gloves do not provide 100% protection; therefore, medical personnel should properly dress any wounds and should wash their hands immediately after removing gloves.
Gloves are generally classified by material as plastic disposable gloves, latex disposable gloves, and nitrile disposable gloves.
Latex gloves
Made of natural latex. As a clinically widely used medical device, its main role is to protect patients and users and avoid cross-infection. It has the advantages of good elasticity, easy to put on, not easy to break and good anti-slip puncture resistance, but people who are allergic to latex will have allergic reactions if they wear it for a long time.
Nitrile gloves
Nitrile gloves are a chemical synthetic material made from butadiene (H2C=CH-CH=CH2) and acrylonitrile (H2C=CH-CN) by emulsion polymerization, mainly produced by low-temperature emulsion polymerization, and have the properties of both homopolymers. Nitrile gloves are latex-free, have a very low allergy rate (less than 1%), are ideal for most medical environments, are puncture resistant, suitable for extended wear, and have excellent chemical resistance and puncture resistance.
Vinyl Gloves (PVC)
PVC gloves are low cost to manufacture, comfortable to wear, flexible in use, do not contain any natural latex components, do not produce allergic reactions, do not produce skin tightness when worn for long periods of time, and are good for blood circulation. Disadvantages: Dioxins and other undesirable substances are released during the manufacturing and disposal of PVC.
Currently commonly used disposable medical gloves are mainly made of compound rubber such as neoprene or nitrile rubber, which is more elastic and relatively strong. Before wearing disposable medical gloves, the gloves must be checked for damage in a simple way - fill the gloves with some air and then pinch the glove openings to observe whether the distended gloves are leaking air. If the glove has been broken, it must be discarded directly and not used again.
