The powder in these gloves facilitates easier donning and doffing, especially in humid conditions. However, advancements in glove technology have made latex powder-free high-risk examination gloves increasingly popular, reducing the risk of powder-related complications.

The use of gloves in the medical field extends beyond protecting healthcare workers. They are also crucial in protecting patients, especially those with compromised immune systems. For example, during chemotherapy administration, nurses wear gloves to protect both themselves and their patients from the cytotoxic effects of the drugs. Similarly, gloves are used when handling sterile instruments and supplies, ensuring that patients are not exposed to contaminants.
