Testing latex gloves by hand is a bit difficult; we need professional machines for testing. All we can do is look at the color. White, white latex gloves, filled with additives. The whiter the color, the more additives, and the less tension. What are the differences between latex gloves and nitrile gloves? What are the precautions for using latex gloves? Let's introduce them below:

　　I. Differences between latex gloves and nitrile gloves

　　1. Different materials

　　Latex gloves are made from natural latex. The sap of the rubber tree is a biosynthetic product, and its quality varies depending on the origin and quality of the tree, including different climates. Nitrile gloves are made from butadiene; they are organic synthetic materials and artificial rubber, so we know that the raw materials are different—one is a natural material, and the other is a synthetic material.

　　2. Different characteristics

　　The characteristics of nitrile gloves are different from those of latex gloves. One is the wear resistance of nitrile gloves. Because they are made of chemicals, and the accuracy of the gloves is controlled, nitrile gloves have better wear resistance and puncture resistance than latex gloves, and they are widely used in medical supplies. Most doctors wear nitrile gloves, and their puncture resistance is good when doctors use sharp tools.

　　3. Different colors

　　Nitrile gloves are chemically synthesized, so pigments can be added to the raw materials, and the produced gloves can also come in a variety of colors. Blue and light blue are more common; they are usually used in medicine. Doctors wearing these gloves can effectively alleviate the patient's nervousness, while latex gloves are mostly milky white.

　　II. Precautions for using latex gloves

　　1. Avoid contact with acids, alkalis, organic solvents, and other chemicals.

　　2. Appropriate protective barriers are needed when handling infectious substances. If you choose latex gloves, you should choose powder-free, low-protein products. Powder-free, low-protein latex gloves can reduce the risk of allergies. However, so-called hypoallergenic products do not reduce the risk of latex allergies but reduce allergic reactions caused by chemical additives in the product.

　　3. There is an opportunity to observe appropriate conduct to minimize latex hazards.

　　4. If you need to wear the product for a long time, your hands will easily sweat, causing discomfort. You can wear sweat-absorbing gloves first and then latex gloves to prevent hand discomfort.

　　5. Accept and participate in latex hazard prevention education and training provided by the owner.

　　6. If you have symptoms of latex allergy, avoid direct contact with the product or products containing latex until you find an expert with experience in latex allergies.

　　7. If you have symptoms of latex allergy, take preventive measures.

　　8. Follow the professional instructions provided by latex allergy experts.
