The PPE related to clinical care is extremely important as it acts as a
barrier between infectious agents such as viruses or bacteria on the skin,
mouth, nose or anywhere else on the face of a person.
Working in a laboratory or hospital where there is a constant risk of exposure to germs from blood, bodily fluids, body tissues, mucous membranes and broken skin requires the use of gloves. Dealing with patients in hospitals requires doctors, nurses and other paramedical staff to use gloves even when the patient seems healthy and fine. Health care professionals are advised to use gloves for daily purposes to prevent the spread of infections. The accurate use of personal protective equipment is also essential to ensure that PPE is providing benefits to the person using it.
