Frequently asked questions

What are medical gloves made out of?
Medical gloves are made from materials such as latex, nitrile, or vinyl. Latex gloves are flexible and comfortable but may cause allergies in some people. Nitrile gloves are latex-free, strong, and resistant to chemicals, while vinyl gloves are a good option for short, low-risk tasks. Each material offers different levels of protection and comfort.
Are medical gloves recyclable?
Most disposable medical gloves cannot be recycled through normal household recycling because they can become contaminated during use. However, some specialist recycling programmes accept clean, unused gloves or gloves used in non-medical settings. Always check your local recycling options or dispose of used gloves safely in clinical waste.
Do medical gloves expire?
Yes, medical gloves do expire. Over time, the material can weaken, become brittle, or lose elasticity, which reduces protection. The expiry date is usually printed on the box. Always check before use and avoid using gloves that are past their expiry date.
What are medical gloves used for?
Medical gloves are used to protect both the wearer and the patient from contamination and infection. They create a barrier between skin and harmful substances, such as body fluids or chemicals. They are essential in healthcare, cleaning, and laboratory environments to maintain hygiene and safety.
