Getting the right gloves for the job is critical and can make all the difference in day-to-day work.
Learn the difference between glove types so you can buy the right kind for your needs.

Medical gloves are disposable gloves used during medical examinations and procedures that help prevent contamination between caregivers and patients.
Clean gloves are worn to protect health care personnel from urine, stool, blood, saliva, and drainage from wounds and lesions of patients and to protect patients from health care personnel who may have cuts.

There are two main types of gloves: exam and surgical. Surgical gloves have more precise sizing with a better precision and sensitivity and are made to a higher standard.
Appropriate surgical glove selection necessitates thorough education and knowledge about available gloves and materials.
The type of glove used should be based upon the type of procedure to be performed (e.g., surgical vs. nonsurgical, housekeeping procedures).
Medical-grade nonsterile examination gloves and sterile surgical gloves are medical devices regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The FDA does not regulate general-purpose utility gloves because they are not promoted for medical use.

Natural rubber latex gloves (NRL) remain the gold standard to which all other glove materials are compared. 

They provide excellent barrier protection against small viral penetration such as hepatitis B,C and HIV as well as against the many resistant bacteria which present clinical challenges today.
Sterile surgical gloves must meet standards for sterility assurance established by the FDA and are less likely than nonsterile examination gloves to harbor pathogens that may contaminate an operative wound.

Exam gloves are available as either sterile or non-sterile, while surgical gloves are generally sterile.
Sterile gloves are worn when there is contact with sterile instruments or a patient's sterile part.
