Introduction Surgical gloves are more than just protective barriers—they are a cornerstone of modern medicine. From their early beginnings in the late 19th century to today’s advanced, sterile, and eco-friendly options, surgical gloves have played a vital role in safeguarding both patients and healthcare professionals. The Origins of Surgical Gloves The history of surgical gloves dates back to 1890 , when Dr. William Stewart Halsted at Johns Hopkins Hospital introduced the use of gloves for his scrub nurse (and later wife) to protect her hands from harsh antiseptic chemicals. Initially made of rubber , these gloves were not intended primarily for infection control, but soon proved to drastically reduce post-surgical infections . Latex Takes the Lead By the mid-20th century, latex gloves  became the gold standard due to their: Superior elasticity Comfort and tactile sensitivity High barrier protection against pathogens Kanam Latex, as one of the leading surgical glove manufacturers in India , continues this tradition by producing sterile, powder-free latex gloves  trusted in operation theaters worldwide. Alternatives to Latex: Nitrile & Vinyl While latex gloves remain highly popular, nitrile and vinyl gloves  entered the market to address: Latex allergies  in healthcare workers Cost-effectiveness for non-critical procedures Specialized usage in laboratories and non-surgical environments However, in delicate surgical environments, latex gloves still provide unmatched precision and tactile feedback . Modern Innovations in Surgical Gloves Today’s surgical gloves go beyond basic protection: Powder-Free Technology  to reduce contamination Ergonomic Designs  for comfort during long surgeries Eco-Friendly & Biodegradable Materials  for sustainable healthcare Double-Gloving Techniques  for added safety in high-risk surgeries Kanam Latex integrates these innovations  into its production process, ensuring that surgeons can work with both safety and comfort . The Future of Surgical Gloves As healthcare evolves, so too will gloves: Research into biodegradable surgical gloves  is already underway Advances in antimicrobial coatings  promise extra protection Smart wearable technology  may even one day be integrated into surgical gloves
