- There are also many classifications in the medical industry, such as surgery, pediatrics, internal medicine, and so on in large hospitals. There are also some independent departments in the industry, such as beauty, dentistry, and so on. Dentistry is somewhat different from other departments in hospitals because it relies almost entirely on operation and is a very delicate operation. Dentists wear different medical gloves during operation compared to other doctors. Now, let’s introduce what gloves dentists use and the precautions for use.
- Instruments used for oral treatment and correction, such as oral knives, chisels, oral scissors, forceps, tweezers, clips, needles, etc. These delicate and sharp tools. Dentists use such delicate instruments, so they have high requirements for operational dexterity. It depends on what gloves are worn during operation to enhance the precision of the operation.
- The disposable gloves used in dental clinics should have two characteristics:
- It is not easy to be punctured, so as to better protect hands and prevent infectious diseases from being transmitted through gloves;
- It is easy to operate with both hands sensitively, and it is not easy to get tired after grasping for a long time.
Disposable PVC gloves are only suitable for some basic operations in dental clinics, such as cleaning utensils, brief oral examinations, etc. But not applicable to the following operations: - Not recommended for contact with sharp instruments, only for basic operations that require frequent glove changes;
- Do not recommend operations that require long-term grasping. The PVC gloves have loose cuffs that do not fit the hand shape and cannot ensure sensitivity during operation.
When performing the above operations, use disposable nitrile gloves. Stronger puncture resistance and safer use; Comfortable to hold, easy to warm and shape, not easily fatigued after prolonged grip, ensuring sensitivity and comfort for dental operation.
So now you know what gloves dentists use when performing operations! Disposable nitrile gloves are their best choice. Of course, when cleaning these tools, it is recommended to use PVC gloves because they are relatively cheaper than nitrile gloves, but they are still more than enough for simple hand cleaning.
