Health care personnel wear gloves to prevent contamination of their hands
when touching mucous membranes, blood, saliva, or other potentially
infectious materials and to reduce the likelihood that microorganisms on their
hands will be transmitted to patients during patient care. Gloves should be used
for one patient only and discarded appropriately after use. Gloves should not
be washed for reuse. Always perform hand hygiene immediately after glove
removal. Glove users should consult the glove manufacturer about the
compatibility of glove material with various chemicals.
