Rubber examination gloves according to the packing can be divided into:

Individual Bags & Pull Boxes

1,probable origin

   The examination gloves generally used in foreign countries are packed in Pull Boxes, while in China, especially in the central and western regions, medical staff prefer to use independent bags of sterilized examination gloves.Independent bagged sterilization inspection gloves is why can appear?

Using frequency less

   Earlier, glove knowledge was incomplete and gloves were only used occasionally in specific circumstances, so boxed inspection gloves took too long to be used and were vulnerable to contamination.

Environmental impact big

   The wind and sand are big, and the gloves in the unsealed box are easy to be polluted.

Habit preference

   Prefer bagging, think sterilization is more health   Without individual packaging

2. Main differences

Tips:

Ethylene oxide sterilization equipment (EO STERILE) residue problems should pay attention to:

3, Use occasions

Q: Since individual bagged disposable rubber examination gloves are sterile can I use them for surgery?

A: No!

Examination gloves are manufactured to different standards than surgical gloves:

Surgical gloves should meet:

National standards disposable medical rubber examination gloves GB 10213-2006

National standard disposable sterilized rubber surgical gloves GB 7543-2006

Surgical gloves not only have more stringent requirements on size, water permeability and tensile properties than examination gloves, but also require double packaging, which is resistant to bacteria.

Independent examination gloves are also the sterilization bags, but simple packaging (packing quality and packing method, etc.), easy to damage when using, can't fully guarantee aseptic gloves.

Surgical gloves need to go deep into the human body for long-term and more delicate operations, so the quality requirements for surgical gloves are also stricter.
