2 YOUR PERSONAL PROTECTION Gloves, Protective Wear, Medical Waste Disposal Medical protective products are essential equipment not only to protect medical professionals from pathogens, but also to protect patients from possible contamination. Pathogens are transmitted through three primary routes: contact (direct and indirect), respiratory droplets, and airborne droplet nuclei. Contact transmission is generally the most common and direct contact occurs when microorganisms transfer directly from one person to another. By using appropriate protective products, it is possible to create a barrier to eliminate or reduce contact and droplet exposure, and therefore prevent the transfer of microorganisms between patients and healthcare workers. 2

4 Medical and protective Gloves Infection PREVENTION in good hands 4

5 Medical and Protective Gloves Wearing gloves reduces the risk of contaminating hands with body fluids and the risk of germ dissemination to the environment and of transmission from the health care workers to patients and vice versa as well as from one patient to another (Hand Hygiene in Health Care, WHO Guidelines 2009). The use of gloves does not replace the need for hand hygiene by either hand washing or hand rubbing. Combining disinfection and glove policy leads to significant reduction of infection rates (Fuller et al, 2011). Rising awareness regarding natural rubber latex allergens and technology breakthroughs in synthetic materials have lead to an increased use of gloves made from nitrile and other synthetic materials, which in some regards even exceed the performance of their natural counterpart. Latex protein tests of the powderfree Vasco latex gloves constantly show levels of latex protein < 30 µg/g. In case of latex allergy, high quality latex-free gloves such as Vasco OP Free made from polyisoprene, Vasco Surgical Chloroprene, Vasco Nitril or the Vasco Vinyl gloves may be used.

Even when punctured, the material reseals to a certain extend due to its unique cross-linked and highly elastic structure. Because of these unique characteristics, natural rubber gloves are the most-favored gloves in medical treatment, healthcare and laboratory use. Latex allergy Approximately 10 % of latex glove users and 2-3 % of the patients develop a hypersensitivity against latex proteins. Allergic reactions such as skin rashes, hives, flushing, itching, nasal, eye or sinus symptoms, asthma, and (rarely) life-threatening shock are increasingly reported, especially among health care workers. Powder-free latex gloves The highest sensitization risk is related to glove powder which transports latex protein particles via the air into lungs and wounds. As a protective measure, occupational health organizations have banned powdered latex gloves in many countries. Modern technologies have lead to the development of synthetic coatings for easy donning, replacing the glove powder and reducing sensitization. B. Braun strongly recommends not to use powdered latex gloves to prevent allergic reactions. 6

7 Medical and Protective Gloves SYNTHETIC RUBBER polyisoprene RUBBER Synthetic polyisoprene rubber (IR) is a chemically highly specific latex. In contrary to natural rubber latex, it does not contain any antigenic proteins. The structure and the properties are very similar to its natural pendant. Within all synthetic latex materials, IR has the highest resilience, elasticity and tensile strength. Because of its excellent material characteristics, synthetical polyisoprene is eminently suited for surgical procedures in particular where the allergenic impacts of natural rubber must be avoided. POLYCHLOROPRENE RUBBER Polychloroprene rubber (CR), often also referred to as Neoprene, offers a good barrier against a wide variety of chemicals. With respect to softness and elasticity this elastomer ranges between polyisoprene and nitrile butadiene rubber. Due to its good mechanical strength and high degradation resistance polychloroprene gloves meet high demands in all types of surgery. Nitrile RUBBER Synthetic nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR or NR) is highly resistant against oil and lipids and a broad range of chemicals. Together with the good cut and puncture resistance, its characteristics make NBR an ideal glove material for medical treatment, laboratory and industrial procedures as well as food processing. Modern technologies have lead to the development of new highly elastic and tear resistant materials, resulting in a wide range of use and high user acceptance. Occupational health and safety The recommendations for minimizing latex-related health problems include substituting non latex products when appropriate. Nitrile is the most cost-effective synthetic material for examination and protective gloves which is more and more replacing natural rubber latex. POLYVINYL CHLORIDE Polyvinyl chloride (PVC, vinyl) is one of the most widely produced plastic. Vinyl gloves are frequently used because of their low cost and light glove design. Due to very poor elasticity and barrier functions, vinyl gloves are not appropriate for work with high demands regarding protection and infection control. Health and Safety Most vinyl gloves contain DOP (dioctyl-phthalate) or DEHP (diethylhexyl-phthalate) plasticizers to make the material flexible. These plasticizers can gradually dissolve out of the gloves into the environment and into the human body. DOP has been found to be hazardous for reproduction (hazard category 2: toxic to reproduction and development). Vasco Vinyl gloves are free of DOP/DEHP; they contain the plasticizer DINP (diisononyl phtalate) instead, which is not regarded as a dangerous substance according to the directives 67/548/EEC and REACH. 7

The beaded conical cuff provides a safe border to the gown and well adjusted fit on the wrist. Vasco OP Grip Vasco OP eco Vasco Surgical Powder-free Comfort Grip the specifically developed ergonomic and fully anatomically design guarantees perfect fit and high comfort, hand fatigue is avoided. the special friction factor (sliding over polished metal surface) of the Vasco surgical gloves leads to an outstanding dry and wet grip performance and high acceptance in surgery. Vasco Surgical Micro Vasco OP Protect Vasco Surgical Powdered Sensitivity Tolerance vasco surgical gloves have a distinguished record of glove resistance and safety in relation to wall thickness. Like a second skin, the sensitivity is not even compromised by double gloving. sensitizing substances are reduced to a minimum by sophisticated surface treatment, resulting in excellent skin tolerance. Vasco OP Free Vasco Surgical Chloroprene Safety The AQL of 0.65 for freedom of holes (water tightness test) ensures a high level of safety and personal protection in Vasco surgical gloves. 9

Double gloving helps to quickly detect outer glove perforations and decreases the risk of inner glove perforations significantly. In case of liquid entrance through the outer glove, a dark spot becomes immediately visible when combining the green Vasco OP Underglove and a second white Vasco surgical glove. The green colour allows a quick detection of perforations and gloves can be changed instantly. 10

22 Examination and Protective Gloves Nitrile Ambidextrous extended cuff NON-sterile Vasco Nitril long and Vasco Nitril white semi-long examination and protective gloves Medical examination gloves with extra long cuffs provide an increased level of skin protection compared to regular examination gloves. This leads to additional safety in preventing cross-contamination in high risk tasks as well as higher protection while handling liquids. As nitrile is not as elastic as natural rubber latex, a longer cuff is important when a tight fit at wrist is required. Vasco Nitril white semi-long is appropriate whenever higher protection in medical care is needed. Vasco Nitril long is especially suitable for laboratory use and protection against chemicals and disinfectants. 22
