medical gloves

Sterile hand covers

Medical gloves are disposable gloves worn by healthcare workers to prevent contamination during examinations and procedures.

They create a barrier protecting both patient and practitioner from bodily fluids and pathogens.

Most are made of latex, nitrile, or vinyl: The nurse snapped on a fresh pair of medical gloves before drawing blood.
