“Cleanliness is next to Godliness”
and this adage holds true in Medical profession. It is a profession where
doctors are treated like gods on Earth and the lives of patient’s depends on
the doctor’s observations and treatment. So, it is a rule of thumb that a
doctor needs to be extra vigilant when it comes to cleanliness and personal hygiene.
This is where Latex Examination Gloves
come into the picture. A doctor has to treat several patients and have to check
their various body parts, but when it is done bare hands there are chances of
bacterial or fungal infection in the infected area or transmitting of germs
from one patient to another via doctors or nurses. So, it is essential for
medical staff to keep the gloves on whenever checking and treating the
patients. Another thing which needs to be implemented is the frequent change of
gloves for the patients to keep the diseases at bay.
The gloves are specially made of
latex and are available in different sizes like small, medium and large that
can be used by children, woman, men and elderly. The unique feature of the
latex examination gloves is that the latex material retains the softness of the
gloves and it fits the hands easily. They are elastic and stretchable and make
it easy to wear. It is essential to wear gloves in many occasions such as:
- At the time of prostrate examination and surgeries to avoid sticking of unwanted material and causing infections.
- While handling chemicals in laboratories as manhandling of chemicals can lead to burning or accidents that can severe the hands.
- At the time
of conducting autopsies or inspecting any crime scene in order to prevent
leaving unwanted handprints at the scene of crime.
- At the time of cooking or preparing medicines so that nothing sticks to the hands because it can lead to itchy or dry skin.
One should take in consideration that
the gloves being used are FDA approved and of superior quality so that it does
not result in abrasions or itchiness on hands.
