There are two kinds of Gloves used for medical purposes, one is Examination gloves and the other is surgical gloves. Examination gloves are sterile, while surgical gloves require greater sensitivity and precision and are required to a higher standard.
Features of Surgical Gloves
- The raw material of surgical gloves is generally made of natural latex.
- Surgical gloves are safe and anti-allergic, and a necessary process of surgical gloves is ethylene oxide disinfection.
- The general size of surgical gloves is 6#, 6.5#,7#, 7.5# and 8#.
- Surgical gloves prevent cross-infection between patients and medical staff during surgery.
Surgical Hand Gloves Manufacturing Process

1. Surgical hand glove formers preparation: hand glove formers are cleaned without stains, which is the first step in making a high-quality surgical glove.
- Coating application: The mold is immersed in a specially configured chemical solution to promote the adhesion of the glove material. Usually, a mixture of calcium nitrate solution and calcium carbonate is the main component of a chemical solution. This ensures that the gloves are easy to take off when unmoulding.
- Oven: After the surgical hand gloves formers are coated with a mixture of calcium nitrate solution and calcium carbonate, they need to be dried to remove any excess moisture. In this way, the surgical hand gloves can be fully prepared for the immersion of surgical glove raw materials and ensure proper adhesion of glove materials.
- Material impregnation: The thickness of the surgical hand gloves is determined by the speed of the production line of the surgical hand gloves, which is then dipped into the glove raw material solution. So this requires extra attention from the production manager.
Chlorine wash: When the surgical hand gloves’ former impregnation is complete, the excess material on the hand mold is thrown out to ensure a uniform thickness of the surgical hand gloves. The surgical hand glove formers are then washed with hot water and chlorine water to remove residual chemicals and latex proteins that can cause allergic reactions, a necessary step to ensure the gloves are safe to use.- Vulcanization and curing: After cleaning, the gloves are vulcanized, a process that strengthens the rubber material by heating and sulfur. This step helps to cross-link the polymer chains, improving the durability and elasticity of the gloves. Vulcanization is usually done in an oven or autoclave.
- Quality control and testing: After the gloves are vulcanized, they must go through strict glove inspection quality control and testing procedures. Quality control measures ensure that the gloves meet safety standards and performance requirements. Visual inspection: Check the gloves for defects such as holes, tears, or discoloration. Functional test: Test the strength, elasticity and fit of the gloves. For surgical gloves, additional testing can be done to ensure that they maintain their integrity during surgery.
- Sterilization: surgical hand gloves are usually packaged in pairs and each pair of surgical hand gloves needs to be sterilized before being sealed. Commonly used sterilization equipment includes: ethylene oxide (E0) sterilization, another effective surgical hand gloves sterilization method, is the use of high-energy radiation to kill bacteria
- Finally, the surgical hand gloves are delivered to the intended customer, and it is necessary to ensure that the surgical hand gloves are complete and sterile.
