Size 8 powdered latex gloves are essential personal protective equipment to ensure hygiene and safety in numerous professional and domestic contexts. The package contains 100 disposable gloves designed to offer a comfortable fit and effective protection against microorganisms, light chemicals and contamination. Thanks to the presence of powder, the gloves are particularly easy to put on and remove, minimizing the risk of breakage during donning. Latex, a natural material known for its elasticity and resistance, gives excellent tactile sensitivity and a good grip on the hand, making these gloves ideal for activities that require precision and dexterity. They are suitable for applications in the medical, dental, aesthetic, laboratory, food and general cleaning fields. With a size 8, corresponding to a medium size that fits most hands, these gloves ensure comfort even during prolonged use. The natural color makes them suitable for environments where it is necessary to visually monitor the status of the product.
Therapeutic Indications
Size 8 powdered latex gloves are designed primarily to protect the skin from contamination by microorganisms, biological fluids and small quantities of low-hazard chemical substances. These gloves are particularly suitable for healthcare personnel, medical assistants, dentists and operators in the beauty sector, as they reduce the risk of cross-contamination between environments, instruments and patients. They can also be used in the home during cleaning operations or when handling potentially dirty materials. In the food industry they are useful for ensuring hygiene during the preparation and packaging of food. The presence of powder facilitates quick donning, an advantage in situations where time is essential. Furthermore, size 8 is suitable for those who need a medium-sized glove, offering effective protection without compromising finger mobility and comfort.
Composition
Material: Natural rubber latex, known for its high elasticity and ability to adhere perfectly to the hand. Latex provides an effective barrier against microorganisms and contaminants, while maintaining high tactile sensitivity, essential for precision activities.
Lubricating powder: Modified corn starch (USP), used to facilitate glove insertion and to prevent tearing during donning and removal. This powder is considered safe, hypoallergenic and minimizes sweating, increasing comfort.
No additional dangerous substances: The gloves do not contain harsh chemicals, artificial colors or perfumes, reducing the risk of unwanted skin reactions. Each glove is subjected to specific washing processes to reduce the presence of soluble latex proteins, potentially causing allergies.
Contraindications
The use of size 8 powdered latex gloves is contraindicated in patients and operators known to have hypersensitivity, allergies or adverse reactions to natural latex or corn starch powder. Prolonged contact may cause skin irritation, itching, redness or allergic contact dermatitis in sensitive subjects. In the presence of previous episodes of allergy to latex proteins or manifestations such as hives or breathing difficulties upon contact with latex gloves, opt for latex-free synthetic alternatives. The dust, although generally safe, could contribute to carrying tiny latex particles into the air, increasing the likelihood of sensitization in those already predisposed. Do not use these gloves in case of serious skin damage on the hands or in the presence of active infections in the area of use without first consulting a healthcare professional.
Safety of the drug for the species
Size 8 powdered latex gloves, if used correctly and in accordance with the instructions, offer humans effective protection when handling potentially contaminated materials. The integrity of the glove guarantees insulation between the skin and the external environment, preventing direct contact with harmful substances, biological agents or contaminated surfaces. The manufacturing quality follows rigorous standards for medical devices, constantly verifying the absence of holes and liquid tightness. However, the protection is not absolute: particularly aggressive or sharp materials can damage the glove. In case of breakage or perforation, the glove must be replaced immediately. The presence of dust, while minimizing the risks of excessive sweating, does not eliminate the need for hygiene: hands must always be sanitized before and after use. The gloves are designed for single use and must not be reused, to avoid risks of cross-contamination.
Precautions
Size 8 powdered latex gloves must be used following some basic precautions. Before putting on the glove it is recommended to wash and dry your hands carefully to prevent dirt or humidity from compromising the seal and effectiveness of the device. Always check the integrity of the glove before use: do not use if you find tears, holes or visible defects. Prolonged use can lead to sweating, which is why it is recommended to change gloves periodically in case of prolonged activities. The glove must be disposed of in compliance with local regulations for special or undifferentiated waste, avoiding dispersion into the environment. Avoid contact of the glove with open flames, very hot surfaces or extremely aggressive substances. If any sensitization symptoms appear, such as itching or redness, stop use immediately.
Method of administration
To correctly wear size 8 powdered latex gloves, it is recommended to remove one glove at a time from the package, avoiding contaminating the others. Gently grab the edge of the glove from the opening and insert it onto your hand, proceeding with firm but delicate movements so as not to tear the material. The presence of powder facilitates donning, reducing friction between skin and latex. It is recommended to wear both gloves if the operation involves contact with contaminated materials or liquids. After use, remove gloves starting from the edge near the wrist, turning them outwards to encapsulate any contaminants inside. Dispose of the product in accordance with sanitation guidelines. Wash your hands thoroughly after removal.
Treatment program
Size 8 powdered latex gloves must be used whenever it is necessary to guarantee the protection of the hands from potentially contaminating external agents, paying particular attention in healthcare environments, laboratories, cleaning activities or kitchens. The frequency of replacement depends on the context and duration of the activity: in the healthcare sector, it is recommended to change gloves between one patient and another or at the end of each procedure. In laboratory or food contexts, it is advisable to replace gloves immediately after contact with dirty substances or materials or when moving from one processing phase to another to maintain high hygiene standards. In domestic activities, change gloves in case of breakage or strong internal humidity. Never reuse disposable gloves, even if they appear intact.
Target species
Device intended for human use, both in the professional and domestic context. Particularly suitable for healthcare personnel, laboratory operators, food sector workers, beauticians and anyone who needs a protective barrier for the hands during cleaning, maintenance or handling of potentially contaminating substances.
