Surgical Gloves

Surgical gloves are worn by medical professionals to prevent cross-contamination between a patient and surgeons. They provide basic protection against microbes, corrosives and surface contaminants. These gloves come in precise sizes ranging from 5.5 to 9.0 at an increment of 0.5. More accurately, the most common surgical glove size for men is 6.5 and 7.0; and for women 5.5 and 6.0 according to researchers. 

As surgical gloves have more precise sizing, fine control, touch sensitivity and are made to a higher standard, they differ from examination gloves which may come sterile or non-sterile, and usually powered with corn starch. During surgery and serious medical procedure, doctors and surgeons use unpowered surgical gloves because of its better precision and no aggressive reactions. Surgical hand gloves are made of natural rubber latex or alternatively, synthetic rubber nitrile. Nitrile gloves are preferred over its counterpart because of its durability, safety and no latex allergy.
