Safety for surgeons and patients: The right choice of surgical gloves

Surgical gloves, also known as surgical gloves, are special disposable gloves worn by healthcare professionals during surgical procedures. Surgical gloves are typically made of latex, nitrile or neoprene. They are characterized by their high flexibility, tactile sensitivity and fit and comply with national and international standards set by the relevant health authorities.

Latex gloves, powdered: Disposable gloves that are made of latex and coated with a powder during the manufacturing process. The powder, which is applied to the surface of the latex gloves, is used to facilitate donning and doffing by reducing friction between the skin and the glove. It can be corn starch or talcum powder. This coating also helps to absorb moisture, which improves comfort.
Latex gloves, powder-free: Powder-free latex gloves are disposable gloves that are made from latex and are not coated with a powder during the manufacturing process. One advantage over powdered gloves is that no allergic reactions can occur due to the powder and no residue is left on surfaces.
Latex-free gloves: Alternatives to latex gloves are gloves made of materials such as nitrile or neoprene to minimize the risk of allergic reactions. Nitrile is one of the most commonly used materials due to its elasticity and strength.
