The differences in protection and safety between surgical gloves and examination gloves are very important.

First, surgical gloves are usually made of natural rubber latex, a material that offers superior protection and flexibility to prevent cross-infection. Exam gloves, on the other hand, may have weaker protection and may not be tight enough to protect against contaminants such as blood and body fluids that may be present during surgery.

Secondly, surgical gloves have a higher level of protection, with a thicker glove texture that can withstand higher pressure and shear forces, ensuring that the gloves will not break during surgery. Also, surgical gloves are often specifically sterilized to ensure their sterility and safety.

Finally, gloves may break during surgery, and wearing two layers of gloves can better protect the surgical area and reduce the risk of infection.

Therefore, wearing surgical gloves is a better option to ensure the safety and sterility of the procedure.
