Surgical Gloves

Have you ever wondered why blue surgical gloves are often the colour of choice for those who work in healthcare? Blue is the most common colour chosen for nitrile surgical gloves, as this helps to differentiate between nitrile gloves and gloves made of other materials, such as latex. As many are allergic to latex, this is a great way to help protect those with allergies whilst having a variety of gloves available for staff to use. Nitrile surgical gloves are ideal for when you are working with sharp instruments and needles, as they are more tear and puncture resistant than gloves made of other materials. 

Keeping sterile surgical gloves in stock for your surgeons at all times is a must. Wearing a fresh pair of disposable gloves for every procedure provides a barrier between the surgeon and the patient, protecting them and others against bodily fluids during the surgery, which can carry bacteria and cause the spread of disease if you do not properly protect against it. Wearing surgical gloves is a must for patient health and safety, as it reduces the risk of any dirt or bacteria entering open wounds, which could cause complications or infection post-surgery.
