8 Gloves can be powdered or powder-free Powdered gloves are coated with corn starch to make them easier to don Powder-free gloves are chlorinated or have a synthetic coating for ease of donning
9 Main glove materials Natural rubber Nitrile Vinyl
10 General properties of gloves made from different materials Durability Puncture & tear resistance Comfort and fit Flexibility Tactile sensitivity Grip Natural Rubber Nitrile Vinyl
11 Barrier protection The reason for wearing medical gloves is that they provide barrier protection against infectious agents
12 Percentage failure of new gloves subject to water leak test Natural Rubber 2.0 Nitrile 3.0 Vinyl 4.8
13 Simulated use conditions Manipulation Repetition 1. Attach and remove a capped needle to a Luer-Lok syringe 30 times 2. Connect and disconnect a Luer-Lok syringe to intravenous tubing 8 times 3. Manipulate a stopcock 8 times 4. Wrapping, taping and unwrapping a blunt object 2 times
14 Percentage failure of gloves after simulated use Natural Rubber Nitrile Vinyl Failure of vinyl gloves after simulated use increased by 520% Rego A and Roley L, American Journal of Infection Control, Volume 27, Number 5, 1999.
15 Limited use of vinyl gloves Vinyl gloves are appropriate only for short-term tasks that involve minimum stress on the gloves and low risk of exposure to blood and other infectious materials
16 Use of plasticizers in vinyl gloves Vinyl or polyvinylchloride (PVC) is a hard plastic It can be made softer and more flexible by the addition of plasticizers The most common plasticizer used is di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, better known as DEHP Vinyl gloves can contain up to 40% of DEHP DEHP is not bound chemically to the PVC and can be leached out when in contact with blood or body fluids
17 Sanctions against DEHP US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) label DEHP as potential carcinogen and reproduction toxin Many countries have banned DEHP in children s toys Japan and the European Union have banned DEHP in food service gloves DEHP is banned in California s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enactment Act of 1986

22 Physical properties of SMG Type I Unaged Aged Property Unit Requirement (min.) Tensile strength MPa 18 Elongation at break % 650 Tensile strength MPa 14 Elongation at break % 500 Ageing conditions: 7 days at 70 ± 2 O C
23 SMG Protein Content Requirements (μg/dm 2 ) Powder-free 50 Powdered 200
24 Selecting gloves If allergic to latex If powder cause irritation If need to grip and handle instruments If comfort important Nitrile Powder-free Powdered Powder-free
