Surgical Gloves

Abstract

The necessity of surgical gloves in operation theatres need not be explained, and the demand will never be satisfied since one of their advantages is that they will be disposed of after use, apart from their being cheap, safe and handy for those who have to wear them for their delicate tasks. Nowadays, however, surgical disposable gloves have also been found to be most useful for many other fields of work owing to the fact that the tendency to allergic reactions has increased to the same degree as the quantity and aggressiveness of chemicals that are used both in industry and household. Protective gloves are the answer to those problems arising from contact with cleansing agents which might prove dangerous to the skin, and there are many more examples showing the usefulness of these gloves.
