The selected materials significantly reduce the risk of allergic reactions and skin sensitization phenomena, making these gloves also suitable for professionals with delicate skin. Each package is specially sealed to keep the sterility characteristics intact.
Therapeutic Indications
Protexis Size 8 Gloves are indicated to guarantee the protection of veterinarians' hands during all clinical and surgical operations and during animal care phases which could involve exposure to biological fluids, blood, urine or other potentially dangerous substances. They are particularly recommended in all invasive practices, such as wound suturing, cannula insertion, blood sampling and management of patients suffering from infectious diseases. The constant use of these gloves contributes fundamentally to the prevention of cross-infections between animals and operators, drastically reducing the risk of accidental contamination both for the vet's hands and for the animals being cared for. The protection is also extended to the cleaning procedures of medical devices and surgical instruments, supporting the maintenance of the high hygiene standards required by modern veterinary medicine. Additional contexts of use include outpatient visits, management of medications, administration of drugs and movement of animals in medical isolation.
The wide compatibility of use makes Protexis Gloves a primary choice both in veterinary practices and in hospitals and university clinics, effectively adapting to the needs of doctors, technicians and veterinary assistants in routine and emergency situations. The choice of size 8 allows for optimal coordination of movements and easy handling of all necessary medical devices.
Composition
The Protexis Size 8 Gloves are made with latest generation synthetic materials, selected to offer a unique combination of resistance, elasticity and comfort. The main composition of the gloves involves the use of special powder-free polymers, to minimize the risk of irritation and avoid contamination of materials during the most sensitive operations. The basic material is structured in such a way as to guarantee an effective barrier against microorganisms, viruses and bacteria, also resisting the action of some chemical agents commonly used in veterinary medicine.
The internal surface is treated with hydrating agents which facilitate wearability, reduce friction on the skin and improve tolerability even in case of prolonged use. The external micro-roughness promotes safe handling of tools and materials. The absence of latex makes these gloves particularly suitable for allergy sufferers and those who need to maintain high hypoallergenic standards. Each glove is produced according to rigorous sterility standards, to guarantee maximum safety in the different areas of use and to preserve the quality of the protective barrier even after many hours of use.
Contraindications
Although they have been designed to minimize the risk of allergies and are latex-free, the Protexis Size 8 Gloves must not be used by subjects with proven hypersensitivity to one or more components of their composition. If skin reactions such as redness, itching or swelling appear, discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor if symptoms persist. Do not use gloves in direct contact with highly caustic chemicals or solvents not compatible with the composition suggested by the manufacturer, as the protection may be insufficient. Use is not recommended in the presence of visible damage to the glove, structural alterations or if the packaging is not intact. Do not use if there are any stains, perforations or obvious signs of deterioration, as this would compromise the protective function of the device.
Safety of the drug for the species
The systematic use of Protexis Size 8 Gloves allows maintaining a high level of safety for both the veterinary operator and the animals treated. The materials selected and the production processes adopted minimize the possibility of cross-contamination between patients, between staff and animals and within the clinical environment. The absence of commonly known allergenic materials reduces the risk of unwanted reactions both for the wearer of the glove and for the animals being cared for, particularly in cases of prolonged procedures, intensive therapies or immunosuppressed subjects. The integrity of the glove guarantees the seal even under mechanical stress typical of veterinary practices, effectively protecting against accidental cuts, needle sticks and micro breaks induced by sharp instruments.
No particular contraindication is reported for animals with which the gloves come into direct contact, but it is essential to always check the integrity before each use. In case of treatments on animals with damaged skin or serious lesions, make sure that there are no residues of material on the operating field or on the animal's skin, to avoid any possibility of an adverse reaction. The adoption of these gloves is fully part of the biosafety protocols recommended at an international level.
Precautions
Before using Protexis Size 8 Gloves, it is recommended to always inspect the packaging to ensure its integrity and sterility. Store gloves in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources that could alter their protective qualities. Wear gloves only on clean, dry skin to avoid the proliferation of bacteria due to internal humidity. During use, avoid contact with contaminated surfaces before entering the sterile area or on the patient, so as not to compromise the effectiveness of the protective barrier.
It is important, after use, to remove the gloves following the correct procedures to avoid contamination: grab the outer edge of the glove at the wrist and remove it by turning it outwards, taking care not to touch the external part with your bare hand. Dispose of used gloves as potentially infectious material according to local medical waste regulations. In case of prolonged use, monitor for any signs of skin discomfort and promptly replace the gloves in the presence of tears or significant alterations. Personal precautions also include washing your hands thoroughly before and after use.
Method of administration
Protexis Size 8 Gloves must be worn immediately before starting procedures that require a sterile environment or where operator protection from dangerous substances is necessary. If stored in multiple packs, remove only one pair at a time, avoiding touching the external surface with non-sterile hands. To facilitate donning, it is advisable to insert your hands slowly, starting from the fingertips until the glove is completely positioned on the wrist, making sure that no localized tensions form which could facilitate breakage during use.
During operations that rotate between sterile and non-sterile tasks, promptly replace the glove whenever moving from a clean environment to a potentially contaminated one. Do not reuse the device under any circumstances: each pair of gloves is designed for single use only and must be disposed of immediately after use to avoid losing the effectiveness of the protective barrier.
Treatment program
The use of Protexis Size 8 Gloves must follow international guidelines relating to the hygiene of healthcare workers in the veterinary field. Consistent use is recommended for all animal handling procedures, particularly where there is a risk of contact with body fluids, secretions, injuries or chemicals. In the surgical field, gloves must be worn immediately before starting the procedure and replaced whenever their integrity is compromised or after each single operation, even if carried out on the same patient.
In outpatient procedures, it is important to change gloves between one animal and another to avoid transmission of pathogens. If there is visible dirt or accidental contamination, replace the device immediately. The use of gloves is part of a broader biosafety strategy, including the disinfection of hands, surfaces and work tools. For all operators, including interns and students in training, it is mandatory to strictly follow the glove changing procedure for each new clinical or surgical activity.
Target species
Protexis Size 8 Gloves are explicitly designed for use on all animal species managed in the veterinary field, including dogs, cats, horses, cattle, exotic animals and laboratory animals. Their versatility makes them suitable for every practical need, from simple clinical visits to advanced surgical interventions, guaranteeing a high standard of protection for operators and animals regardless of the species treated.
