Powder-Free Exam Gloves
Powder-free medical gloves create a barrier to prevent skin exposure to infectious materials. Prior to a 2017 FDA ban, powdered gloves were used widely in the healthcare industry. The FDA cited evidence that the powder in gloves pose serious health risks to patients, including post-operative infections, wound inflammation, and allergic reactions. Powder-free gloves are now the standard in the healthcare industry.
Disposable gloves are a critical piece of protective equipment for anyone who may come in contact with bodily fluids. Medical gloves are available in latex and latex-free options such as nitrile, vinyl, and neoprene. Please see our guide on types of medical gloves to learn about the benefits of each material. Nitrile exam gloves are some of the best medical gloves available because of their latex-like stretchiness, puncture-resistance, and durability. Latex-free gloves have been increasingly adopted by healthcare professionals due to natural rubber latex (NRL) allergies.
It is especially important to wear disposable gloves during wound care procedures. Other crucial steps include cleansing the wound, applying a Wound Gel, and covering the wound with the appropriate dressing. Performing any of these steps without wearing gloves can increase your risk of infection. All of the products mentioned are designed to assist in the body’s natural healing process.
Exam gloves also make a great addition to any first aid kit, as they often do not include medical grade gloves. You can purchase pre-made kits, or make your own. Some staple First Aid Supplies include adhesive bandages, gauze, antibiotic ointment, and a hot/cold pack. Keeping a first aid kit in your home and car will keep you safer and better prepared in case of minor medical injuries.
Frequent use of disposable gloves can cause skin irritation. Wearing Cotton Glove Liners underneath medical gloves adds a layer of protection to shield the skin. Glove liners also absorb perspiration for a better grip. They are suitable for use with latex, vinyl, or nitrile gloves. They are great for nurses, caregivers, or individuals with sensitive skin.
