PROTECTING FUNERAL HOME / MORTUARY PERSONNEL
FROM POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS INFECTIOUS MATERIALS

Protective Medical gloves are a must for use in the prep rooms of Funeral homes, Mortuary, or Coroners office. Pathologists, Morticians and any personnel who perform post-mortem care and are exposed to blood, body fluids, or other infectious material should wear disposable Medical Gloves. Contact with whole or part human remains carries potential risks associated with pathogenic microbiolgical organisims that may be present in blood or tissue. Routine infection control practices should be incorporated into everyday funeral home service care.

The protection offered by disposable Medical exam gloves, referred to as its barrier effectiveness, is the ability of the gloves to withstand viral penetration. Medical exam gloves that pass Viral Penetration Tests (ASTM1671D) provide an effective barrier against bloodborne pathogens, as mandated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).

GLOVE SELECTION 

It is also important to select the proper type of disposable Medical exam gloves for each type of use. While all SafeCare-Gloves / UniSeal® Medical exam gloves pass Viral Penetration Tests (ASTM1671D), Medical exam gloves only maintain effective barrier protection as long as they are intact. Latex Medical exam gloves and Nitrile Medical exam gloves have tensile strengths typically in the range of 17 to 28 MPa and are recommended in applications where gloves are worn for a longer period of time or exposed to greater stress and risks. The thicker the glove material the greater the resistance to chemicals or mechanical damage.

Nitrile Medical exam gloves also have chemical barrier properties that give them an extra advantage when handling certain drugs or chemicals
