The latex comes from a plant source, offering an excellent combination of elasticity, tactile sensitivity and mechanical resistance against tears and punctures. The latex structure provides an impermeable barrier against most biological fluids and many commonly used contaminants.
Additional features: Ambidextrous gloves, with rolled edge to facilitate donning and removal operations and increase tear resistance in the most stressed area. The micro-rough surface increases safety when holding objects. They contain no added powder, reducing the risk of contamination and unwanted skin reactions. Product free of silicones and other irritating additives. The absence of synthetic latex limits the presence of non-natural chemical compounds.
Light or white color typical of uncolored latex products; the material also provides moderate chemical resistance to some cleaning solutions, alcohol and organic substances.
Contraindications
Do not use powder-free latex gloves in case of known allergy to natural latex or in the presence of suspicious skin manifestations related to the use of products containing latex. The use of the product is also not recommended for people with allergic contact dermatitis, active eczema or skin lesions on the hands, as contact with latex can worsen the symptoms.
For procedures that require sterility it is advisable to check the compatibility and specific intended use of the gloves, possibly choosing products specifically certified sterile for the required performance. Avoid prolonged use without replacement, as the buildup of sweat or moisture inside can irritate the skin. If the glove breaks or is damaged during use, stop the procedure immediately and replace the glove with a new one. In environments with high chemical or biological risk, ensure that the level of protection offered is adequate with respect to the specific risks present.
Safety of the drug for the species
Latex gloves represent an effective means of protection for human skin, but they must be used correctly to ensure maximum safety. The perfect fit reduces the risk of accidental breakages and consequent exposure to harmful substances. Unlike other devices, latex gloves offer excellent sensitivity, necessary in all those situations where the accuracy of touch is fundamental, such as in the medical, dental and food fields. For those with hypersensitivity or allergy to latex, it is essential to choose alternatives such as nitrile or vinyl gloves, in order to avoid unwanted reactions which can also manifest themselves seriously with itching, redness, swelling or skin rashes.
Although the material is resistant, the gloves must be inspected before use to identify imperfections or micro-holes that could compromise their protective function; Damaged gloves should always be discarded. It is also recommended to never reuse disposable gloves, as their purpose is to prevent cross-contamination between patients, surfaces or food. After removal, it is recommended to wash your hands thoroughly as a further hygienic precaution.
Precautions
The use of powder-free latex gloves must be accompanied by some general precautions: it is essential to ensure that the hands are perfectly dry and clean before wearing them, so as to guarantee optimal adhesion and prevent the creation of humid microenvironments inside the glove. If the glove breaks or is damaged during use, it must be replaced immediately with a new one to avoid losing its protective effectiveness. Prolonged contact with latex can cause sweating of the hands; in predisposed subjects, mild skin irritation from rubbing may occur, in which case limit the time of use and alternate periods of use with short breaks.
Store the gloves in the original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources, direct sunlight and excessive humidity, which can compromise the integrity and resistance of the material. The gloves are not suitable for contact with some particularly aggressive chemical substances such as organic solvents or highly concentrated industrial oils; in these cases prefer alternative materials with suitable certifications. Do not use gloves if the packaging appears damaged or tampered with. After use, dispose of gloves according to local regulations for medical or special waste, avoiding reuse or improper handling.
Method of administration
With clean hands, remove a single glove at a time from the package, avoiding touching the external part intended for contact with the surfaces to be protected. Gently insert your hand into the glove, taking care not to force on sensitive areas such as the fingers and edge. Extend the glove up to the wrist, making sure it adheres perfectly to the skin, without air bubbles that could trap moisture. If the fit is excessively tight, consider going up a size. To carry out complex activities or in the presence of abundant liquids, it is recommended to change the glove frequently to maintain adequate protection.
At the end of use, to remove the gloves safely, grab the outer edge of the wrist and remove the glove by turning it on itself, avoiding contact with the outside of the glove as much as possible. Dispose of the used glove according to current regulations, avoiding throwing it into the environment or waste systems. Wash hands immediately after removal. Do not use the same pair of gloves for different procedures, so as not to undermine the barrier function against contamination.
Treatment program
The use of powder-free latex gloves does not require a fixed treatment program; instead, it must be calibrated based on practical needs and the frequency of use determined by the area of use. In healthcare settings, it is recommended to use a new pair with each change of patient, invasive procedure or cleaning cycle. In the food sector, it is recommended to replace them at each step from one processing phase to another, especially between handling raw and cooked foods. During domestic or professional cleaning operations, it is good practice to change them every time you move from an area at risk of contamination (e.g. bathroom) to more hygienic environments (e.g. kitchen), to reduce the spread of germs.
For daily personal use, such as hand protection during manual labor, gardening, handling animals or applying cosmetic products, the frequency of replacement will depend on the integrity of the glove and the duration of the activity. Gloves should always be replaced immediately if cuts, holes, abrasions or a sensation of loss of grip are detected, to always ensure maximum protective effectiveness. In case of prolonged use, take periodic breaks to allow the skin to breathe.
