Surgical Gloves (Hexacare) Powder Free Pairs 6.5 50's

Product Description:

Surgical Gloves (Hexacare) Powder Free are high-quality, medical-grade gloves designed for use during surgical procedures or other clinical tasks requiring high levels of sanitation and protection. These gloves are powder-free, which eliminates the risk of powder-related complications, such as irritation or allergic reactions. The gloves are made from latex or synthetic materials (depending on the variant) to provide a secure fit, superior comfort, and excellent tactile sensitivity, which is crucial for performing precise medical procedures.

The Hexacare Surgical Gloves in Size 6.5 are packaged in a box containing 50 pairs (100 gloves total), making them ideal for hospitals, clinics, dental practices, and other healthcare environments. These gloves are sterilized and come in a ready-to-use form, ensuring that healthcare workers can maintain the highest standards of hygiene and protection.

Indications:

Surgical Gloves (Hexacare) Powder Free are primarily indicated for:

• Surgical Procedures: These gloves are designed for use in sterile environments during surgical operations, where the prevention of contamination is paramount.

• Medical Procedures: Used in various clinical settings where infection control is necessary, such as diagnostic procedures, minor surgeries, or sterile dressing changes.

• Dental Care: Commonly used in dentistry, especially during procedures that require sterile technique, such as extractions, cleanings, and other dental surgeries.

• Laboratory Work: Suitable for use in medical labs and research environments where the handling of biological samples or chemicals requires protective gloves.

• General Medical Care: These gloves can be used by healthcare providers for patient examinations, injecting medications, and other clinical tasks where a sterile barrier is needed.

Dosages:

As Surgical Gloves (Hexacare) Powder Free are non-drug products, there is no dosage associated with their use. However, the following guidelines for use apply:

• Wear the Gloves Properly: The gloves should be worn during all procedures where sterile conditions are required. Ensure that the gloves are the correct size (6.5 in this case) to ensure both comfort and protection.

• Dispose After Use: These gloves are single-use only and should be discarded after each procedure to prevent cross-contamination or the spread of infection.

• Check for Tears: Before use, carefully inspect each pair for tears or defects. If a glove is damaged, discard it and use a new pair.

Side Effects:

While Surgical Gloves (Hexacare) Powder Free are generally safe to use, there are a few possible side effects or issues:

• Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may experience allergic reactions to the materials used in the gloves (such as latex or synthetic materials). Symptoms can include itching, rashes, or more severe reactions such as difficulty breathing (especially with latex gloves). Always ensure the gloves are made from a material that the user is not allergic to.

• Skin Irritation: Prolonged or repeated use of surgical gloves may cause skin irritation or dryness. This can be exacerbated by the lack of powder which, in some cases, is used to keep the gloves more comfortable.

• Sweating and Discomfort: Extended wear of gloves may lead to excessive sweating inside the gloves, causing discomfort or potential for skin maceration (softening and breaking down of the skin).

Contraindications:

Surgical Gloves (Hexacare) Powder Free should not be used in the following circumstances:

• Known Allergies: If an individual is known to have a latex allergy or sensitivity to certain materials used in the gloves, they should avoid using latex-based surgical gloves. Latex-free or synthetic gloves should be used instead.

• Skin Sensitivities: If a person has extreme skin sensitivity or open cuts/sores on the hands, the gloves may exacerbate irritation or cause discomfort.

• Inappropriate for Non-Sterile Procedures: These gloves are designed for sterile environments. They should not be used in situations where sterility is not required or where non-sterile gloves are more appropriate, such as in routine cleaning or non-invasive procedures.

Additional Notes:

• Fit and Size: Always ensure that the correct glove size is chosen for a comfortable and secure fit. Gloves that are too tight may cause discomfort, while gloves that are too loose may compromise the sterility and protection.

• Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their integrity and prevent degradation of the material.

• Inspection: Always check for any tears or punctures before wearing the gloves. Damaged gloves should be disposed of immediately.

• Environmental Impact: Surgical gloves are generally single-use items. It is important to follow proper disposal guidelines, including placing used gloves in an appropriate biohazard container.

Conclusion:

The Surgical Gloves (Hexacare) Powder Free are a reliable and essential product for maintaining sterile conditions during medical procedures. Their powder-free design reduces the risk of allergic reactions and skin irritation, and they provide excellent protection against contamination, ensuring both patient and healthcare worker safety. With proper use and disposal, these gloves play a vital role in minimizing the risk of infection during surgical and medical procedures.
