Differences Between the Examination Gloves and the Surgical Gloves
Application Scenario
Doctors use surgical gloves for highly invasive operations such as cardiac surgery and open abdominal surgery. Wearing surgical gloves not only prevents the contamination of patients’ wounds by microorganisms on medical staff’s hands but also blocks the infection of medical staff by pathogens in patients’ body fluids. This application scenario requires higher protection standards and must have a strong blocking effect on blood, bacteria, etc.
Examination gloves are used in general medical Settings such as physical examination, blood drawing, and catheterization, mainly to prevent basic cross-infection, and tactile sensitivity is more important.
Quality Standard
The material of surgical gloves is mostly natural latex or nitrile rubber. The gloves are relatively thick (wear-resistant and puncture-resistant), and the cuffs are extended to one-third of the forearm. They are designed with left and right-handed individuals to better fit the hand shape. Gloves have high tensile strength, and the allowable rate of defects, such as pinholes, is extremely low.
The material of the examination gloves is either latex or nitrile, and they are not distinguished by left or right hands. Most of them are designed as straight tubes, but the gloves are relatively thin for palpation. This type of glove has a relatively low requirement for tensile strength and is suitable for short-term inspection operations.
Sterilization and Packaging
Surgical gloves need to undergo strict sterilization treatment, be individually packaged in a sterile manner, and be marked with “sterile” and an expiration date.
Inspection gloves do not require separate packaging and have no “sterile” label. They are usually only cleaned and disinfected.
Features of the Fengwang Disposable Examination Gloves Machine
1. The Production System Is Highly Efficient
Fengwang ‘s inspection glove production line (double molds) has a capacity of 60,000- 80,000 pieces/hr and is suitable for nitrile latex material. The drying system adopts the principle of hot air circulation, which saves energy consumption and recycles thermal energy. The inspection of the glove production line adopts hand mold chain conveying, maximizing the realization of automated operations without human intervention.
2. The Detection System Is Well-developed
Visual inspection uses AI algorithms to remove products with holes or uneven thickness in real time. In addition, it also includes a series of physical tests such as automatic random inspection of tensile strength, glove watertight testing, etc.
3. The Environmental Protection System Is Well-developed
The hot air circulation technology in the glove drying system saves energy consumption. The waste heat is used for preheating raw materials, reducing energy consumption by 15-20%. The chlorine washing waste gas is neutralized to minimize the emission of waste gas to the greatest extent.
4. The Era of Industry 4.0
The inspection of the glove production line’s support for ERP system integration has greatly enhanced production efficiency. The self-service fuel dispenser automatically fills the hand mold base with oil according to the running speed of the production line, saving the waiting time for shutdown maintenance.
5. Simple Maintenance and Flexible Configuration
Fengwang inspection glove manufacturing machine supports simple and quick mold changing, and can adjust the thickness (0.05-0.15mm) and texture (smooth/rough) of the gloves.
