Here at the Glove Club we have many years of experience in the supply of latex, nitrile and plastic gloves, so we understand the importance our gloves have for a variety of professions. In this article we will look into the many uses of our latex gloves.
Many people associate the sound of someone putting on latex gloves as part and parcel of going into the doctor’s office, when the reality is that these gloves have far more uses than just being used at the doctors. These gloves are cheap, disposable, sanitary and can keep you protected from fluids and chemicals.
Medicine
Used by medical professions who come into contact with bodily fluids, these gloves are vital in respect to the fact that they give the practitioner protection against infectious fluids and the transmission of chemicals. As sterile latex gloves are disposable a fresh pair of gloves are used for each patient, ensuring infections are not transferred.
Home Use
As these gloves minimally impair a person’s dexterity, many people use these gloves when they clean the home, as they keep chemicals off the hands without making you clumsy. Using latex gloves protects against cleaning products such as bleach and other household products which could be potentially harmful to the skin.
Research
Although other types of gloves are used in scientific research, no single glove type can serve as protection from all chemicals. A glove may protect against a specific chemical, but it may not protect the wearer from another. Latex gloves can protect against chemicals like methanol and acetone.
Food Preparation
As food goes to and from the kitchen, latex gloves are used in order to prevent the spread of bacteria, viruses and parasites that can cause illnesses through cross contamination. Much like with the housework, these gloves are effective in this industry because the hindrance of movement is kept to a minimum.
