Choosing the Right Single-Use Gloves for Hands with Skin Problems
Selecting the right protective gloves is vital for those dealing with skin issues such as dermatitis, dryness, or cracking. Single-use nitrile gloves can offer protection while minimizing skin irritation.
This article explores how to reduce or avoid dry and itchy hands when wearing single-use gloves. We will examine the benefits of specialized nitrile gloves with the Colloidal Oatmeal System (COATS®), their functionality, and why they are beneficial for professionals like dentists, hairdressers, beauticians, healthcare workers, and food processing workers.
What Gloves Are Suitable for Dry and Cracked Hands?
Prolonged use of gloves can aggravate dry or cracked hands, particularly if the gloves lack moisturizing features. Proper care and protection are essential to restore damaged or irritated skin to a healthy state.
Single-use nitrile gloves with a colloidal oatmeal layer possess protective water-binding properties that moisturize the skin and relieve dryness. The oat beta-glucan layer provides a protective barrier that helps in healing by preventing further irritation and allowing the skin to repair itself. The colloidal oatmeal composition absorbs sweat and hydrates your hands, allowing them to breathe.

How Does the Colloidal Oatmeal System (COATS®) Work?
Oatmeal is a natural product that has been used for centuries as a soothing agent to relieve itch and irritation associated with various dry skin conditions. Colloidal oatmeal is a finely ground form of oats known for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing properties. The Colloidal Oatmeal System (COATS®) in nitrile gloves integrates the natural benefits of colloidal oatmeal into the glove material. When used in gloves, COATS® technology works as follows:
COATS®, an acronym for the Colloidal Oatmeal System, is a patented glove coating technology with a clinically proven oatmeal skin protectant. The GRANBERG 925 nitrile gloves feature COATS® technology to protect dry and sensitive hands. The colloidal oatmeal barrier in these gloves helps to calm and moisturize the skin, making them effective for workers who need to maintain hygiene standards or work with chemicals. Additionally, the gloves prevent irritants from reaching the skin, reducing the risk of dermatitis flare-ups.
Why Are COATS® Nitrile Gloves a Great Choice for Workers?
In professions such as dentistry, hairdressing, healthcare, cosmetology, and food processing, gloves must offer protection and comfort. The GRANBERG 925 gloves are specifically designed for use in the medical field to protect users from cross-contamination. The added benefit of colloidal oatmeal ensures that hands remain hydrated and protected, even with frequent glove changes.
