In the hospital, the hands, especially the fingers, are the parts with a high rate of injuries among medical staff. In medical care, people often come into contact with various drugs, bacteria and viruses, which can cause skin damage. In mild cases, the skin will be dry, peeling, and itchy, and in severe cases, redness, blisters, herpes, and scars may appear. However, under normal circumstances, medical staff only use a single plastic glove and woven gloves, and the protection of the hands is not enough. Therefore, the correct selection and use of gloves is an important measure to prevent hand injuries.

Now let the manufacturers of nitrile gloves introduce the selection of medical gloves, hoping to provide some help for medical staff when choosing gloves.

(1) pH515 gloves

Medical research believes that pH515 is a good pH for human skin, while the surface pH of ordinary latex gloves is greater than 710, which is weakly alkaline, and long-term use is harmful to human hand skin. If the glove is surface-treated with a buffer solution to lower its pH value, the skin can be protected.

(2) Spraying care products gloves

Commonly used skin care products mainly include aloe vera and vitamin E. Aloe vera has very significant skin maintenance functions. It contains a variety of nutrients, which can not only nourish the skin, but also have whitening and moisturizing functions. And vitamin E can soften the skin, avoid skin dryness, spray them on the surface of the gloves, and directly touch the skin during use to achieve the purpose of protecting the skin.

(3) Antibacterial gloves

Medical staff are often exposed to germs and microorganisms at work. If they are not careful, they will be infected by bacteria or spread to other patients, causing cross-infection. Antibacterial gloves can kill bacteria, which not only protects the health of medical staff, but also prevents the spread of germs.

(4) Anti-ultraviolet gloves

Properly irradiating the sun is good for human skin. If exposed to ultraviolet light for a long time, the skin can be damaged. For this reason, anti-ultraviolet gloves appeared.

(5) Anti-static gloves

Due to the packaging of gloves, latex gloves are prone to generate static electricity when they are extracted and used. The generation of static electricity not only makes gloves difficult to use, but also damages the skin. Anti-static gloves solve this problem. Adding an antistatic agent (such as polyvinyl alcohol) to the latex glove coating makes the surface of the glove contain a new functional group hydroxyl, which increases the hydrophilicity of the surface of the glove, thereby eliminating the generation of static electricity.

(6) Anti-radiation gloves

For people who are exposed to radiation for a long time, radiation protection is essential. Anti-radiation gloves are coated with a layer of anti-radiation material on the surface of the gloves, that is, tungsten-containing materials are added to the latex or polymer coating to achieve the function of anti-radiation.
