H5N1 is approximately 0.1 micron (100 nm) in
size and it only
take 1 germ to infect a person.
Wava Truscott,
Ph.D., director of scientific affairs and
clinical education at Kimberly-Clark Health Care, points out that
nitrile is
among the strongest materials available for gloves and is an excellent
choice
for most procedures. Nitrile gloves are ideal for clinicians who are
allergic or
sensitive to latex and who perform tasks or procedures involving
prolonged
exposure to blood, body fluids, chemotherapeutic agents, cleaning
solutions and
other chemicals.

Description:
5 Mil Nitrile Gloves
Nitrile
also has the benefit
of being resistant to any
breakdown from oil based products, Truscott says. Nitrile
would be an
excellent product to use if you are working with a lubricant, milking
tubing or
performing various procedures requiring contact with an oil based
substance,
Oils can breakdown latex where you'll notice your fingertips
getting tacky or
elongated whereas Nitrile does not.
Nitrile
gloves are more
chemical resistant and more
resistant to fats and oils and to certain cleaning chemicals. Nitrile
gloves do not contain natural rubber proteins. They do perform as well
or maybe
better than latex gloves for the protection from blood borne pathogens.
Most
nitrile gloves do contain rubber accelerators which may cause some
people to
have an allergic reaction. These accelerators can cause a
severe contact dermatitis in the
area where the glove touches.
Vinyl
gloves are appropriate
for short-term tasks that involve
minimal stress on the glove and low risk of exposure to blood and other
potentially infectious materials. There are a number of
studies which show
that vinyl has a higher failure rate than Nitrile. Another thing that
you have to remember about vinyl is that
it does not have the fit, feel or the performance characteristics of
either
latex or nitrile. Vinyl gloves do not contain accelerators or natural
rubber
proteins, but have been shown over and over again to fail viral
penetration
testing after a short time of usage. The reason is that the
vinyl film is not very stretchy and just the force of flexing them
while wearing
causes the film to fracture and allow fissures that viruses and
blood borne
pathogens can penetrate and expose the worker.
