Q. What do you mean by Overgloves?
The purpose of these gloves is to use time more efficiently and to protect the skin on the hands through minimizing the number of times that examination gloves are removed and discarded and hands washed during an appointment with a single patient. Care must be taken to avoid contamination to the outside of the overgloves by touching your clothing, hair, mask, or glasses. Overgloves are not used directly on any item that will be used in the mouth eg. rubber dam, fluoride trays, polishing cups, soflex discs.
