title: Disposable gloves.
abstract: Disposable gloves are available in latex and synthetic materials, in sterile and non-sterile forms and with and without powder. Sterile disposable gloves should be worn during invasive procedures and when the hands are in contact with wounds. Non-sterile disposable gloves are recommended when the hands are in contact with blood and other body fluids and for indirect contact with wounds.
