Sterile Latex Surgical Glove

What is a Sterile Latex Surgical Glove?

Sterile Latex Surgical Gloves are a type of glove generally used during surgical operations and in environments where higher hygiene standards are required, such as when dealing with infectious diseases. Unlike regular examination gloves, they are specially processed to be free from harmful microorganisms, packaged in pairs, manufactured for specific uses, and available in sizes 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, and 8.5 to fit different hand types.

What Are the Types of Sterile Latex Surgical Gloves?

The type of sterile latex surgical glove may vary depending on the purpose and usage habits of the physicians who use them. These can be listed as follows:

• Powdered Sterile Latex Surgical Gloves:These gloves are easier to put on compared to other sterile latex surgical gloves due to the presence of powder. The advantage is that the powder helps absorb moisture when the hands sweat, keeping the hands dry and soft. Additionally, they are less likely to tear while being worn.
• Powder-Free Sterile Latex Surgical Gloves:These are harder to put on compared to powdered gloves. However, they are preferred by some physicians whose skin may have allergic reactions to the powder.
