Are Your Gloves Doing More Harm Than Good?

If you’re using surgical or exam gloves in a USP <797> cleanroom, you may be doing more harm than good. Know when to reverse course and what to use instead.    

 

Even though some medical gloves are classified as sterile, their paperboard packaging is a major source of particulate contamination. Likewise, ambidextrous gloves fail to provide a proper fit, which can lead to potential contamination and exposure.

 

A designated cleanroom glove should be your only choice.

 

Sterile Ultimate Cleanroom Gloves and Sterile Emerald Cleanroom Gloves are manufactured and packaged with the ISO 4 cleanroom in mind. Gloves meet ASTM D6978 ratings for use with chemotherapy drugs and their individual packaging designs are cleanroom compatible, too.
