2.Removing the second glove:

Keep the removed glove held in the gloved hand and do not touch the outside of either glove with the free hand. Instead tuck the fingers inside the glove still on the other hand and turn it inside out. The second glove will be over the first and they should be disposed of immediately.

After gloves have been disposed, the person’s hands should be cleaned immediately with soap and water or sanitiser, if washing is unavailable.

Choose the right size to get the best protection

Disposable gloves, such as the box of 100 disposable gloves, are also available in different sizes from small to extra-large. Choosing the right size glove is vital to ensure the person wearing them is comfortable and not at risk to exposing their hands. A loose-fitting glove runs the risk of falling down and a tight-fitting glove may be at a higher risk of breaking.

How are gloves used in a healthcare setting?

Many types of personal protective equipment (PPE), including disposable aprons and gloves, are used in medical or care settings to reduce the spread of infection between healthcare workers and patients. Disposable gloves are appropriate for single use and are worn when someone is providing direct care to a patient, especially if they will be exposed to bodily fluids. After each procedure, or contact with a patient, the gloves will be removed and disposed of and the person will need to wash or sanitise their hands.

APPLICATIONS AND USES OF DISPOSABLE BIBS

What is a disposable bib?

A disposable bib is a cloth or tissue portion with PE backing that is mainly used to avoid water, food, and other substances spilling on the user’s clothes. Although bibs are usually associated with babies, it is interesting to know that they are used by adults as well. Bibs are an important part of a baby’s accessories and daily routine but it’s a common scenario that adults including sick and old people often need disposable bibs for helping and supporting them in their regular activities.

Applications of disposable bibs

1.Dental clinics

Dental disposable bibs are used as a preliminary barrier against stains and contamination. They are used to protect both dentists and patients from spills and stains during dental procedures. Therefore, even if something is spilled on the patient’s chest, the bib protects their clothing. Dental disposable bib is typically made of two layers; the top paper layer absorbs any type of spills and the bottom layer of plastic prevents liquids from penetrating the disposable bib.

Dental disposable bibs are available as individually packaged bibs, pre-cut bib rolls, or as bib napkins.
