Hand gloves are disposable gloves used during medical examinations and procedures to help prevent cross-contamination between caregivers and patients. Hand gloves are made of different polymers including latex and nitrile rubber. They come with powder free, or powdered with corn starch to lubricate the gloves, making them easier to put on the hands. Corn starch replaced tissue-irritating lycopodium powder and talc, but even corn starch can impede healing if it gets into tissues (as during surgery). As such, powder free gloves are used more often during surgery and other sensitive procedures. Special manufacturing processes are used to compensate for the lack of powder.
