Disposable gloves (nitrile, latex, vinyl/synthetic styles, etc.) are critical safety items used across a multitude of industries and applications, such as: general medical, law enforcement, home health and beauty care, food preparation, and cleaning/sanitation. As part of a comprehensive safety program, gloves play an important role in personal protection, infection control, and cross-contamination prevention. Diligent and consistent glove use, and the correct glove removal technique, are key to ensuring effective protection.
