3 Use-Cases for Disposable Gloves for Medical Use
Disposable gloves have endless use cases - but how are they most commonly used for Nurses and Medical offices?
With the potential to keep the hands of these practitioners safe from hazardous and dangerous substances and materials, disposable gloves are the front line of protection while caring for patients with the need to be touched and cared for.
This month, we are focused on use cases in the medical industry, to honor the CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists) during the last week of January and National Blood Donor month!
Gloves are not recommended to be re-used or sanitized for continued use by the CDC for any medical purposes. This is the importance of plentifully stocked, disposable gloves, intended to keep hazardous particles and materials away from the human body.
3 Popular medical Uses for Disposable gloves :
1. Patient Examination:
The most popular and common use of a medical-grade nitrile disposable glove is known as an “Exam Glove.” As a barrier of protection from skin-to-skin contact, most medical professionals will use gloves with each visit of each patient for examination.
2. Administering Chemicals or Medicines That Contain Toxic Substances:
Common to practitioners who are handling medicines or other solutions to their staff, from the labs, or throughout the office, gloves to protect themselves are essential to reduce the risk of spreading toxins or other bacteria or particles.
3. Handling Solutions That May Cause Skin Irritation:
We often forget about the cleanup- but using these gloves at the last stage of their use before disposal is for cleaning up. Important for in-office cleaning and janitorial uses.
