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

Exam 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 gloves are even great for duties around the house, including washing dishes, painting, scrubbing toilets and bathtubs, and cleaning up after pets.

Exam gloves are available in latex and in vinyl or other non-latex material for those with allergies. Exam gloves can come powdered or non-powdered (again for those with allergies), and sterile or non-sterile. Exam gloves come in a variety of sizes, colors and thickness. Exam gloves are disposable and are available in bulk.

Exam gloves offer protection to you by protecting your hands and lessening the possibility of contamination. Exam gloves help create a clean, safe environment for you and your patient. Exam 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 (like washing the dishes), a sturdy pair of exam gloves could be reused several times.
