Selecting the Right Glove |
 |
|
Selecting the
right glove is not an easy task given
today’s challenges faced by healthcare
workers or professionals in the medical
and dental industry.
There are a number of factors and issues
to consider:- |
|
Safety & Protection
This should be the main priority to
protect users from any blood form or
other substances which they come into
contact with.
Comfort & Fit
Gloves are for protection and at the
same time provide its users the comfort
when performing
their tasks. In terms of performance,
latex glove are regarded as providing
excellent elasticity and fitting.
Concerns on Allergy
The above issue has been a concern to
all users of Latex products. However, if
you choose to
use latex gloves it is recommended to
use powder free latex gloves or powdered
gloves with
reduced protein content. Perfect
alternatives would be synthetic Vinyl
and Nitrile gloves.
Soft formulations of vinyl and nitrile
gloves provide the degree of comfort and
sensitivity close to Latex gloves but
are more expensive in terms of pricing.
Quality versus Cost
Question of cost over quality has been
the main issue when deciding on using
the different type of gloves. The vital
factor to consider when deciding on
using the glove is to get the highest
acceptable quality standards at the best
or optimum value you can obtain. Latex
and vinyl gloves are generally very
affordable whilst nitrile and other
synthetic gloves are usually more
costly. |
