Kinder, Gentler Gloves?

Edited by Kristin Royer

Repeated washing, scrubbing and gloving by physicians and nurses can cause dry, irritated and even cracked hands, which can lead to infection and cross-contamination. A new surgical glove from Cardinal may help. Esteem polyisoprene gloves now contain Neu-Thera, a substance said to help protect, restore, moisturize and soothe hands. Esteem surgical gloves are made of polyisoprene. The company did not give a price.
