Dentistry Gloves | Page 2

Gloves act as an obstacle or barrier to protect workers and patients from contamination of their hands with blood or fluids. The use of this material reduces the risk of transmitting micro-organisms to patients, thereby preventing the transmission of infections.

At Dentaltix there is a wide variety of gloves according to their material and use:

• Latex gloves: offer good resistance and are effective against infectious agents. They can be sterile or non-sterile.
• Vinyl gloves: for short-duration treatments, with no risk of exposure to external factors. They are less resistant than latex but offer greater adaptability. They are not sterile.
• Nitrile gloves: highly resistant to chemicals, tears or punctures. They can be sterile or non-sterile. They are recommended for tasks involving high biological or chemical risk.
