What is medic glove?

Medical gloves are disposable gloves used in healthcare settings to prevent cross-contamination between healthcare workers and patients. They are made from various materials such as latex, vinyl, nitrile, and neoprene.

Latex gloves are the most commonly used type of medical gloves, but due to concerns about allergic reactions, alternative materials are being used more frequently. Vinyl gloves are cheaper than latex and are often used for short-term or low-risk tasks. Nitrile gloves are highly durable and resistant to punctures and chemicals, making them suitable for use in high-risk environments. Neoprene gloves are also highly durable and are often used in surgical settings due to their resistance to liquids and chemicals.

Medical gloves are available in various sizes to ensure proper fit and are typically powder-free to reduce the risk of contamination. They are used in a variety of healthcare settings such as hospitals, clinics, and dental offices.

Healthcare workers are required to wear gloves to prevent the spread of infection and to protect themselves from exposure to bodily fluids. Proper use of gloves includes ensuring they are the correct size, changing gloves between tasks and procedures, and disposing of used gloves properly.
