Directions

Once the proper size gloves are selected, wearers can put them on. The first step is to have a clean work area when donning gloves. Users don't want to contaminate the gloves by placing them on a dirty surface. In an laboratory, for example, gloves should not be placed on a surface that has come into contact with harmful chemicals, as doing so can ultimately bring the wearer's skin into contact with those chemicals. In that same vein, all hand and wrist jewelry should be removed, and hands should be washed before gloves are worn. Dirty hands can contaminate the inside of the glove. This is because the hazardous materials and pathogens can be transferred from the unclean hands to the clean interior of the glove. In addition to protecting the wearer, this step can guard others who are going to come in contact with the wearer. Medical staff touch patients, so they don't want pathogens or chemicals on their hands to contaminate the gloves. Once work surfaces and hands are clean, users can begin to don the gloves. One key point is wearers should avoid touching the outside of the gloves as much as possible. First, the gloves can be placed on the prepared work surface. Then, the user puts a glove on his or her dominant hand by grabbing it with the other hand – remembering to only touch the inside of the glove – and slipping it over the dominant hand until it reaches finger level. Next, the wearer uses the gloved dominant hand to slip the other glove onto to the non-dominant hand. Once both gloves are on, the users can touch the outside of the gloves to ensure a proper fit.

WARNINGS

These gloves should fit closely but not too tightly. Prolonged use of tight-fitting gloves can, over time, contribute to health problems including joint pain, thumb fatigue and carpal tunnel syndrome. Align hand where thumb joins palm. Measure the widest part of your hand (and compare to what is shown in diagram on package). Important: Dispose of glove immediately after use. Store in cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children.
