Different Types of Gynaecological Gloves and Their Specific Applications

The field of medicine is closely associated with safety, accuracy, and cleanliness, especially in the obstetrics and gynecology departments. All procedures even basic check ups and complex surgeries require the correct protective measures, and these are no different than physician’s gloves. These specialty gloves are essential for the patient’s safety and the comfort of the doctor.

As a trusted surgical glove manufacturer, ZP Mediheal has developed a complete line of high-quality gynaecological gloves that meet the needs of healthcare professionals. In this article, we will outline the types of gynaecological gloves, a few of their distinguishing features, and uses in gynecology.

The Significance of Gynaecology Gloves

Gynaecology involves intimate and sensitive interaction with the human body’s most private parts. All gynaecological procedures, including pelvic examinations, cervical cytology, labor and delivery, and surgeries, demand safety and care.

Gynaecology gloves can help to:

• Stop the transmission of infections from clinician to patient
• Control a sterile field during examinations and surgical procedures
• Provide the clinician with greater sensitivity and dexterity during procedures
• Enhance patient comfort and confidence

At ZP Mediheal, we recognize that every medical specialty will require different gloves. Therefore, in order to elevate the healthcare practitioner, we have included modern features, such as length, grip, and tactile sensitivity into our gynaecology glove line.

1. Gynaecological(Long Cuff) Gloves

Gynaecological gloves also know as long cuff gloves are the most widely used gloves in gynaecology clinics and hospitals, and are usually used in routine pelvic and vaginal examinations. Examination gloves, depending on the preference of the clinician, and the nature of the examination, can be made of latex, nitrile, or vinyl.

The design of obstetric gloves is longer than a typical examination glove, frequently extending towards the elbow, while providing additional protection when delivering babies.
