Are disposable examination gloves sterile? --Take Changfeng single-use sterilised rubber examination gloves as an example

First, the basic concept of disposable examination gloves

Disposable examination gloves are a kind of protective products used in medical examination, surgery, nursing and other occasions. According to the different materials, disposable examination gloves can be divided into rubber gloves, latex gloves, nitrile gloves, etc. Among them, rubber gloves are often used in medical occasions due to their excellent elasticity, comfort and protective properties. The main role of disposable examination gloves is to isolate pathogens, chemicals and other external contamination, to protect medical personnel from infection, but also to effectively reduce the cross-infection of patients.

Second, the sterilisation and sterility of disposable examination gloves

Many people in the use of disposable examination gloves will have a question: ‘disposable examination gloves are sterile?’ The answer to this question is not generalised, but needs to be differentiated according to different product types and uses.

1. Non-sterile gloves

Most disposable examination gloves, especially those used in routine examinations and daily care, are non-sterile. These gloves are cleaned and sterilised during the manufacturing process, but are not subjected to a sterilisation procedure and therefore cannot be guaranteed to be completely sterile. In such cases, the primary function of the gloves is to protect medical personnel from physical injury, contaminants or chemicals, and they are not necessarily used in situations that require strict asepsis. /2. Sterilised Gloves

Unlike non-sterile gloves, Changfeng single-use sterilised rubber examination gloves are sterile products that have undergone special treatment. These gloves will undergo strict sterilisation after production, generally using methods such as ethylene oxide (ETO) sterilisation or gamma ray sterilisation, to ensure that the surface of the glove is free of any live bacteria. The sterilisation process not only removes micro-organisms, but also ensures that the gloves are sterile at the time of use, making them safe for use in highly demanding medical situations such as surgery and aseptic examinations.

Changfeng's single-use sterilised rubber examination gloves strictly follow the international standards of the medical device industry when it comes to the sterilisation process. After sterilisation, the gloves are in a sterile environment inside the package, with the external encapsulation intact, and can be opened directly during use, ensuring that medical staff can maintain optimal sterility during operations. The use of such sterilised gloves can effectively avoid cross-infection and provide a safer guarantee for medical operations.
