Surgical Gloves

About Surgical Gloves

Surgical glovesare specialized gloves designed for use in sterile environments, particularly during surgical procedures, to protect both the wearer and the patient from infections, contaminants, and cross-contamination. These gloves are made from high-quality materials to ensure durability, flexibility, and precision during medical procedures.

1. Material: Surgical gloves are typically made from one of three materials:

   • Latex: Known for its excellent elasticity, comfort, and tactile sensitivity, latex gloves are commonly used in medical settings. However, some individuals may have latex allergies.
   • Nitrile: A synthetic rubber that is often used as an alternative to latex. Nitrile gloves are highly durable, resistant to punctures, and offer a good fit. They are hypoallergenic and ideal for people with latex sensitivities.
   • Vinyl: A less expensive option made from PVC, vinyl gloves are less durable than latex and nitrile but are often used for general, low-risk procedures.
