Children’s wards

Hospitalisation of children is a huge challenge for patients themselves, their parents and healthcare professionals alike. They experience fear and uncertainty. Empathy towards children is very important, but we must not forget about basic personal protective equipment necessary during routine procedures or to check the patient’s health.

When choosing gloves for children’s wards, an important criterion is their colour. It is a good idea to select child-friendly colours – green or pink – so that children do not associate the blue – hospital colour – with something bad and unattractive.

In addition to the colour, take into account conformity with the ISO 374-5 standard, which guarantees the highest barrier properties – impermeability to viruses, bacteria and fungi.

IDEAL GLOVES FOR WORK IN CHILDREN’S WARDS SHOULD HAVE SIX KEY FEATURES:

• antibacterial activity,
• resistance to mechanical damage,
• the highest tactile sensitivity,
• material and parameters in conformity with EU regulations and standards,
• high comfort at work also ensuring both patient and user safety,
• high flexibility and correct fit to hand
