Protecting Yourself With Quality Nitrile Gloves

Protecting Yourself With Quality Nitrile Gloves

These gloves are manufactured using nitrile, a synthetic rubber. It's basically a copolymer consisting of acrylonitrile (ACN) and butadiene. The nitrile gloves are used in a wide range of applications, from mechanical and automotive repair shops, to the medical industry and high-tech manufacturing. The application is largely determined by factors such as the thickness pf the gloves and the level of sensitivity they provide, as these affect the protection and dexterity of the gloves. Nitrile gloves are in high demand due to the increased resistance to solvents and acids compared to natural rubber, plus the enhanced safety for those with latex allergies. Since not all nitrile gloves are the same, one needs to go for the option whose specifications will provide the optimal balance of flexibility, comfort, chemical resistance and durability based on their particular needs.

Value Of Nitrile Gloves

Cases of patients and health care providers developing latex hypersensitivity are avoided, including issues like post-surgical complications where wounds get infected and there is inflammation due to the powders that are used in conventional gloves. With nitrile gloves, both the wearer and the patient being attended to are safer.
When it comes to functionality, nitrile offers a higher puncture resistance compared to alternatives like latex and vinyl gloves. They mould on the hand, allowing you to continue with your work unabated. The higher chemical resistance allows them to be used in high risk situations, and can be worn for extended periods of time.

Doffing the gloves

While the gloves serve as a barrier to protect your skin from harmful substances during usage, care is also needed when taking them off. This is what's called 'doffing', and how you do it plays a key role in ensuring that contamination doesn't spread. To remove the disposable nitrile gloves:
Start by pinching the outside part of the glove- just about an inch from the top edge. This can be on the inside part of the wrist.

Peel the glove downwards and away from your wrist, simultaneously turning it inside out.
Continue putting it until it comes off the hand completely.
At this point, you will be holding the glove that's inside-out with the hand that is gloved.
Slide the fingers of the gloveless hand under the wrist of the hand with the glove. Take particular care not to come into contact with the outside surface.
Just as had been done with the first hand, peel the glove downwards, moving it away from your wrist and turn it inside out.
Pull the glove over the other one that had been removed. That way, both gloves will now be inside out, and with one enveloping the other.
Following these steps will ensure that no contaminants get to your bare hands. After safely taking off the gloves, dispose them in the appropriate bin. This is based on the contents that were being handled, and the waste segregation program that has been put in place by the establishment.
