What are disposable gloves used for?
Disposable gloves are single-used gloves that protect the skin against chemicals, contamination, fluids, or infection. They are essential in hygiene-sensitive industries such as healthcare, food service, research, and cleaning.
What kind of disposable gloves are best?
The “best” disposable gloves depend on the specific requirements of the task.
Nitrile gloves are known for their durability, puncture and chemical resistance, making them ideal for settings where extra protection is necessary.
Latex gloves are also known for their comfort and durability but can cause allergies in some individuals and may not be suitable for everyone.
Offering minimal durability and barrier protection, disposable vinyl and polythene gloves are popular budget-friendly choices but should be used only for low-risk tasks.
Why would I use disposable gloves instead of reusable gloves?
Disposable gloves help avoid cross-contamination and maintain maximum hygiene in sterile conditions. Also, disposable gloves do not require any cleaning or maintenance, which saves both time and effort.
