Nitrile gloves are the ideal substitute for latex gloves, providing a close fit to the skin and excellent comfort. They are suitable for non-sterile operations involving high-risk contact with blood or body fluids; handling sharp objects, dealing with cytotoxic substances and disinfectants. Depending on the nature of the work, they can be classified as sterilized gloves and non-sterilized gloves, and non-sterilized gloves can be further divided into cleaning examination gloves and domestic service gloves.
● Surgical sterilized gloves: Used for sterile purposes. Primarily used for operations with high requirements for sterility such as surgeries, deliveries, central catheter insertion, and preparation of total parenteral nutrition solutions.
● Cleaning examination gloves: Non-sterile, used for one-time use. Used for direct or indirect contact with patients' blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions, and items significantly contaminated by body fluids.
