Precautions For Latex Gloves

1. Wearing double gloves can reduce the risk exposure of the wearer. If you need to wear double gloves in specific operations (such as nucleic acid testing, chemotherapy, bone marrow puncture), you need loose gloves so that you can put one on the other.
2 Replace gloves After contacting the suspected contaminated area or objects of the same patient, replace gloves before contacting mucous membrane. Before touching non pollutants or disposing other patients, you should take off gloves, wash your hands immediately or use disinfectant to avoid spreading microorganisms to other patients or objects.
3. The longer you wear gloves, the easier it is to damage the protective barrier. The use of gloves under severe conditions or exposure to various chemicals may lead to the fatigue of gloves. Therefore, gloves should be properly replaced during operation. If gloves are damaged or suspected to be contaminated during operation, they should be replaced immediately.
4. During the use of gloves, the infection source will pollute the external surface of gloves. It is important to take off gloves correctly. Do not pull the gloves forcibly when taking off the gloves. Turn the gloves over and take them off gently. Try not to touch the outside of the gloves. The removed gloves should be disinfected in time and should not be thrown into the waste bin. The wrong removal of gloves may lead to the spread of pollutants outside the gloves. At this time, no matter how good the barrier function is, it is meaningless.
