Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid commonly used for medical analgesia, but its abuse potential is also very high. Fentanyl is extremely potent, contact with small amounts of powder or liquid can lead to serious health risks. Therefore, it is critical for healthcare, emergency and law enforcement related personnel to choose the right gloves to protect themselves from fentanyl exposure.
Glove Material
Nitrile gloves are the ideal choice. Compared to latex, nitrile has a lower allergy risk and is suitable for personnel who may be at risk of allergies. Nitrile also has high chemical resistance with excellent puncture resistance. Gloves made of this material are effective in preventing the penetration of chemicals such as fentanyl and are less prone to puncture, making them suitable for prolonged use.
Certified chemical resistance
Choose gloves that are certified to ensure they meet the relevant chemical protection standards. Common certifications include ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards and EN (European Standard), which demonstrate the effectiveness of gloves in protecting against fentanyl.
Comfort and dexterity
Fentanyl-resistant gloves should fit the hand well, providing comfort and dexterity to enable the wearer to perform delicate operations. These properties of the gloves will reduce the interference of the gloves in the operation, increase the efficiency of the work and thus reduce the time of exposure to fentanyl.
Anti-static properties
Antistatic properties are also important in certain situations, especially when handling powdered fentanyl. Gloves should have an anti-static finish to minimize static build-up and reduce the risk of powder dispersion.
After choosing the right gloves, proper use and handling is also necessary. When handling fentanyl, direct contact between the gloves and the skin should be avoided, while the gloves should be changed and properly disposed of immediately after handling. After use, gloves should be placed in a sealed garbage bag to avoid any potential leakage.
In addition, the performance of gloves deteriorates with time and use, so gloves need to be regularly inspected for wear, cracks or tears and replaced as appropriate. Keeping gloves fresh and intact is key to ensuring protection.
