Medical examination gloves are an absolute must for first aiders and medics. And in the world of sport, things are no different. They’re an essential piece of kit, that the medic cannot do their job without. When dealing with an injury the Nitrile gloves provide protection of infection, for both the wearer and the casualty. When dealing with blood spills the gloves protect the wearer from the threat of hepatitis B. Sports first aiders, physios and paramedics will usually wear the gloves throughout a game/match so they are prepared to treat the injury immediately.
