Exam gloves

National ScrubsExamination gloves, or exam gloves for short, are a mandatory item for any medical office or practice. These gloves are used by nurses, surgeons, physicians, EMTs and anyone else who administers physical care to others.

Medical gloves are also an essential item for tattoo and piercing parlors, and for anyone who wants to maintain a high level of safety and cleanliness. Exam wear are even great for duties around the house, including washing dishes, painting, scrubbing toilets and bathtubs, and cleaning up after pets.

Exam hand protectors are available in latex and in vinyl or other non-latex material for those with allergies. They can come powdered or non-powdered (again for those with allergies), and sterile or non-sterile. These gloves come in a variety of sizes, colors and thickness. To maintain the most sterile environments possible, these items are disposable. By throwing them away after each use, you will greatly reduce the risk of spreading germs and diseases. Because they are disposable, they are always available in bulk.

These medical gloves offer protection to you by protecting your hands and lessening the possibility of contamination. They help create a clean and safe environment for you and your patient. These gloves are usually made only for single-use circumstances when used as a medical implement, and therefore should be disposed of immediately. However, when used for some household duties such as washing the dishes, a sturdy pair of these gloves could be reused several times. This practice is actually encouraged in order to promote green practices.
