Talk:Medical glove

message: I know why gloves are coloured purple or blue, its so the wearer can see if there is a tear in them, so there is another reason certain hospitals are changing to nitrile as opposed to latex, as latex is naturally white and so is skin so it is quite hard for the wearer of latex to see if there is a tear. 
I will probably add this information to the article soon.
But feel free to add it for me.
Regards

replies: text: I have never heard that before.  According to Kimberly-Clark, their Purple Nitrile gloves are purple so they are readily identified as being latex-free. Mike6271 02:08, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I know i wanted them to say it (purple being easy to see a tear in) on their website so i could cite that source but they dont. But years ago in first aids classes thats what they told my about why they are purple. Also since Kimbley-Clarke makes these gloves their going to be biased (slightly) saying that everyone knows these are latex-free, when no one does!

Wikipedia already has external links to Wikipedia articles ieScalpelRetractor (medical)Needle Haemostat Needle holder Forceps Scissors Surgical sutures
Would the editors care to include an external link to Wikisurgery's Surgical gloves article?Michael Harpur Edwards (talk) 12:06, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: External link to Surgical gloves article on Wikisurgery?

message: I work as a First Aid volunteer with the British Red Cross and we have recently had it made procedure that all gloves used in first aid duties must be nitrile (as opposed to the vinyl previously used) as other glove materials are permeable to bloodborne viruses such as Hepatitis and HIV. I don't know what research was published to support this but I presume it must have some credibility as all gloves have been replaced at great expense and as our first aid services are now CQC compliant, I assume this is a national standard in UK healthcare.

message: I used latex gloves yesterday to manipulate hydrochloric acid,  thinking it would do nothing to the gloves,  but it altered them,  the gloves are now yellow and sticky
That should be mentioned in the article,  the chemicals for which you cannot use latex gloves  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Granito diaz (talk • contribs) 19:01, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Wouldn't that go better in a discussion on the properties of latex gloves as opposed to a discussion on the types of medical gloves? I feel like that doesn't really belong in this article. Radioactivated (talk) 23:44, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
