To minimize the risk of chemicals exposure and cross-infection between the patient and the medical staff, it is necessary to use individual protective measures such as gloves. According to the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), protective gloves should always be used upon contact with blood, mucosa, injured skin or other potentially infectious materia. In addition, professionals working in the health sector should be guided in the selection of suitable gloves for the exercise of health care activities and in the optimisation of the use of gloves throughout the health care organisation.
