Compared with latex gloves, nitrile gloves can better prevent contact transmission

The main transmission routes of COVID-19 are droplet transmission and contact transmission. The main way to prevent droplet transmission is to wear a mask and keep a distance of 1 meter from people. In addition to washing hands frequently, gloves are also an important means to prevent contact and transmission. Compared with latex gloves, nitrile gloves can better prevent contact transmission.
Nitrile gloves and latex gloves are protective gloves. Nitrile gloves are synthetic rubber. Because the synthetic materials are mainly butadiene and acrylonitrile, they are called nitrile gloves. The latex gloves are made of natural latex.
The advantages of nitrile gloves are: nitrile inspection gloves can be worn by left and right hands; No protein, effectively avoiding protein allergy; Its main properties are puncture resistance, oil resistance and solvent resistance; The hemp surface is treated to avoid the slipping of the appliance during use; High tensile strength avoids tearing when wearing; After powder free treatment, it is easy to wear, effectively avoiding skin allergy caused by powder. The disadvantage is poor elasticity, and the price is higher than latex gloves.
Latex gloves are widely used. They have the advantages of good tensile resistance, good elasticity and environmental protection. Wearing them may cause allergy for people with certain allergic conditions containing protein. The resistance to grease is general. Precautions for latex gloves are as follows:
1. Avoid contacting chemicals such as acid, alkali and organic solvent.
2. If you are dealing with infectious substances, you should choose powder free and low protein latex gloves. Powderless and low protein gloves can reduce the risk of allergy.
3. Do not use oily hand cream or make-up water when wearing latex gloves, which may cause deterioration and damage of latex gloves.
4. After taking off or removing latex gloves, wash your hands with mild soapy water and completely dry your hands.
