Units such as Intensive Care, Med-Surg, Radiology, Respiratory, and Physical Therapy perform procedures that do not generally place significant levels of stress on examination gloves. Facilities have greater flexibility in selecting an exam glove for these areas. Powder-free nitrile, powder-free latex, and second- or third-generation stretch vinyl gloves are all excellent choices.
Exam gloves selected for use in the Emergency Department should provide protection against bloodborne pathogens and be strong enough to withstand the rigors of the tasks performed. Nitrile and latex gloves are the recommended choices for high-stress activities. High-performance third-generation vinyl gloves can be used as a complement for routine patient care.
Labor and Delivery generally prefers to use latex-free gloves to avoid any potential latex allergy issues with newborns. Sterile gloves are encouraged for actual deliveries, which may require more invasive procedures. Medline offers both stretch vinyl and nitrile sterile glove options.
Laboratory clinicians have a variety of glove needs. Some technicians deal with harsh chemicals and require higher chemical resistance, while others have greater grip requirements and need a glove that will perform well in both wet and dry situations. All clinicians require comfortable, high-performing gloves. Those who deal with harsh chemicals should use nitrile gloves, but latex and third-generation high-performing vinyl gloves are appropriate for all other functions.
Phlebotomists need a glove with excellent tactile sensitivity that allows them to find a vein hidden beneath the skin.
Clinicians who are preparing, compounding, handling, or administering harsh chemotherapy drugs in these departments should use chemotherapy-tested nitrile gloves.
Environmental Services employees may handle harsh chemical cleaning compounds and ideally should use nitrile gloves, which provide the most effective chemical resistance of all glove materials.
