Gloves designed for hand protection and/or to prevent contamination and/or infection of both patients and healthcare personnel. These gloves are usually made of latex, nitrile, vinyl, or synthetic materials; they should fit comfortably but remain watertight and be strong enough to resist tears or holes. Examination/treatment gloves are used in healthcare facilities to provide a barrier during diagnostic and treatment procedures, preventing the transmission of a wide variety of diseases from patients to healthcare personnel and vice-versa.
