Medical gloves are less commonly used in our lives because they are usually used in professional settings, but due to the epidemic, medical gloves have entered our lives and more and more people are wearing them for protection when they go out. This can effectively block the virus cross-infection.

1、Do medical gloves count as medical equipment?
Medical gloves can be divided into medical examination gloves and surgical gloves; non-sterile medical examination gloves belong to a class of medical devices, sterile surgical gloves (including examination gloves) belong to the second class of medical devices.
Class I medical devices are medical devices that can ensure safety and effectiveness through routine management.
Class II medical devices are: the safety and effectiveness of the medical device should be controlled.
By comparison, it is not difficult to find the second class of medical devices than a class of strict some, you friends now know that medical gloves also belong to the medical device it! And sterile gloves still belong to Class II medical devices.

2, how to measure the thickness of medical gloves
Careful customers may find that usually disposable gloves are used gram reaction thickness, rather than measuring the actual thickness of the glove, for the following two reasons:
On the one hand, when disposable gloves are produced, there will be a slightly thicker fingertip area and a slightly thinner palm area during the impregnation process, and it is difficult to unify the numbers using thickness as the measurement standard. The gram weight as the unit of measurement, avoiding the problem of deviation caused by different parts of the glove measurement, is not only a more accurate measurement of gloves, but also help the glove industry to regulate the quality.
On the other hand, using gram weight as the measurement standard can also reflect the amount of raw materials used in gloves. The steps are also relatively simple, without the use of specific measuring tools such as micrometers, and only a digital scale is needed.
Therefore, gram weight is now also mostly used to test the thickness and quality of disposable gloves.
