Product description
**Sterile gloves** are a critical component of personal protective equipment (PPE) used in medical settings to prevent infections and maintain a sterile environment. These gloves are worn during surgeries, invasive procedures, wound care, and clinical examinations to protect both healthcare workers and patients from cross-contamination.
- **Purpose**: Sterile gloves act as a barrier against pathogens, bodily fluids, and contaminants, ensuring that the sterile field remains uncontaminated.
- **Types**: Common types include latex, nitrile, vinyl, and polyisoprene gloves. Nitrile and polyisoprene are popular alternatives to latex due to latex allergies.
- **Uses**: Primarily used in surgeries, invasive procedures (like catheter insertion), wound care, and during exams involving bodily fluids.
- **Features**: They are designed to fit snugly for optimal dexterity, offer puncture resistance, and maintain sterility until used. Most are powder-free to prevent irritation.
- **Single Use**: Sterile gloves are for single-use only and should be disposed of after each procedure to avoid contamination.
Sterile gloves are essential for ensuring patient safety, reducing the risk of infection, and maintaining high standards of hygiene in medical environments.
