The main types include latex gloves, nitrile gloves, and PVC gloves. Latex gloves have good fit and elasticity, making them suitable for routine diagnosis and treatment, but they have the risk of protein allergy; nitrile gloves do not contain natural latex protein and have excellent anti-chemical and anti-puncture properties, suitable for people with allergies, operating rooms, and laboratories; PVC gloves have high cost performance and average breathability, and are mostly used for short-term, low-risk basic nursing operations. You can choose the corresponding product based on the usage scenario, the allergy history of the wearer, and the protection level.
