How to choose the right surgical glove

1) Material & allergy profile

  • Polyisoprene / neoprene / nitrile for latex-free needs

  • Accelerator-free options for sensitive skin

2) Procedure type

  • Micro / neuro / vascular → micro-thin, high tactile feedback

  • Orthopedic / trauma → thicker, high-tear resistance

  • Guided imaging → radiation attenuation styles

3) Fit & donning

  • True-to-size with beaded cuffs; pair underglove + top glove for indicator systems and fail-safe barrier checks.

4) Compliance & labeling

  • Check sterile packaging integrity, lot/expiry, and relevant standards (ASTM/EN) on product pages.

Storage & handling best practices

  • Keep cases in a cool, dry, UV-protected area.

  • Rotate by FIFO to manage expiration dates.

  • Inspect pouches for seal integrity before opening; don with aseptic technique.
