Medical surgical gloves, medicalExamination Gloves, medical protective gloves... What is the difference between these medical gloves with different names?
The difference between medical surgical gloves and medicalExamination Gloves:
1. Most medicalExamination Gloves belong to Class I medical devices, and medical surgical gloves belong to Class II medical devices. Different product classifications require different supervision levels.
Of course, some of the medicalExamination Gloves will be classified as Class II medical devices. This depends on the products submitted by the manufacturer, such as PE film gloves and polyethylene film gloves.
However, Class I medical devices are also qualified medicalExamination Gloves.
2. Function:
a. medicalExamination Gloves: Examination Gloves are items worn on the hands of the examiner during medical examinations to prevent cross-infection between doctors and patients.
b. Medical surgical gloves: Used to wear on the hands of surgical personnel to prevent the spread of skin flakes and bacteria to open surgical wounds, and to prevent the spread of surgical patients' body fluids to medical personnel, playing a two-way biological protection role. Products are sterilized with ethylene oxide and provided aseptically for single use.
3. Relatively speaking, medicalExamination Gloves will be thinner, shorter, and not individually packaged, regardless of left or right hands, but medical surgical gloves will be thicker and longer, and the cuffs need to be covered.
To put it simply, medical surgical gloves not only need to prevent cross-infection, but also need to have a certain blocking effect on blood and some germs to prevent blood and germ infections.
Examination Gloves are mainly to prevent contact cross-infection.
Of course, we must strictly distinguish the difference between medicalExamination Gloves and medical surgical gloves. You can directly look at the outer packaging. Both are regular medical devices, so the outer packaging will also require the formal product name to be written on it. Directly write "medicalExamination Gloves" and "medical surgical gloves". You can also use this to distinguish.
There is another method. You can look at the "Registration Certificate" or "Registration Certificate Number" written on the package, and then fill in the approval number from the Food and Drug Administration. Then you can search for the approval qualifications of the products, as well as detailed introduction information of the products.
