Did you know that not all disposable gloves are created equal?

There are many types of gloves available, each varying significantly in material composition, durability, protection levels, and potential health risks. Some of the most common types are latex and nitrile gloves.

In Malaysia's healthcare sector, latex powdered gloves have long been favoured for their affordability and availability. However, there are safer alternatives like nitrile gloves that are gaining recognition for their superior safety and protective qualities. 

Several countries, such as Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Japan, have already banned powdered gloves due to their significant health risks, opting instead for nitrile gloves.

Whether you're a healthcare professional, beautician, or in the F&B business, gloves are an essential part of your daily routine

They protect us from germs, chemicals, and other harmful substances, making our tasks safer and more hygienic. But did you know that long-term use of certain gloves can actually harm your palms?

Frequent use of powdered gloves, in particular, has been linked to a range of occupational health issues like occupational skin diseases (OSDs). These concerns are especially prevalent in the medical and beauty industries and include conditions like Contact Dermatitis and Occupational Hand Eczema (OHE).

Amidst these concerns, there's a solution — introducing GloveOn® COATS® Gloves. These gloves are not just about protection, they also care for your skin!
