Surgical gloves are an essential piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) for healthcare professionals. They provide a barrier between the wearer's hands and the patient, helping to prevent the spread of infection.
There are many different types of surgical gloves available, made from a variety of materials. The most common materials are latex, nitrile, and vinyl. Latex gloves are the most popular type of surgical glove, but they can cause allergies in some people. Nitrile gloves are a good alternative for people with latex allergies. Vinyl gloves are less expensive than latex or nitrile gloves, but they are not as durable.
When choosing surgical gloves, it is important to consider the type of procedure that will be performed, the patient's allergies, and the budget. It is also important to make sure that the gloves are the correct size and fit properly.
