Medical antibacturial gloves are made of rubber materials or synthetic polymers, such as latex, vinyl, neoprene or nitrile. Medical antibacturial gloves are used in medical Settings to reduce hand contamination, cross-contamination, and to protect patients and doctors from bacteria. Gloves are almost always disposable for safe handling and unique use. Also, medical gloves come in two varieties: one is made from cornstarch powder to ensure ease of use, and the other is unpowdered.
