The first characteristic we should discuss is the difference between powdered and powder-free gloves.

Powdered gloves and powder-free gloves

The main difference is that the purpose of the powder, made with corn starch, is simply to facilitate its placement. Even so, powder-free gloves are now easier to put on as they undergo a washing procedure to be subsequently covered with synthetic polymers.

One of the disadvantages of powder is that it is more prone to allergies and skin irritations.

Most important characteristics of latex gloves, nitrile gloves and vinyl gloves.

Gloves are governed by three main characteristics that determine which jobs they are most suitable for. The first characteristic is the sensitivity that the glove provides and the sensitive touch required for that job. For example, surgical jobs require maximum sensitivity.

The second aspect to consider is allergens, that is, if the glove is more likely to cause allergies or not.

Finally, the third aspect to consider is the resistance of the glove.

Latex gloves

Latex gloves are made with natural material and are the most used in the healthcare field because they are, without a doubt, the most sensitive. In addition, they are quite resistant. The only disadvantage is that they are more allergenic than other types of gloves.
