How to Choose the Right Plastic Over Gloves for Your Practice
- Film Gauge (Light vs Heavy-Duty) — Light over gloves (0.010–0.015 mm PE film) are low-cost and sufficient for brief contact with clean non-patient surfaces such as phone, light handle, and patient records. Heavy-duty over gloves (0.020–0.030 mm HDPE) offer greater puncture resistance for contact with sterilisation packaging, instrument drawers, or sharper surfaces.
- Ambidextrous vs Handed Design — Most plastic over gloves are ambidextrous for ease of rapid donning over either hand. Ambidextrous designs reduce inventory complexity and eliminate the need to select hand before donning under time pressure during active treatment.
- Cuff Length — Standard over gloves extend approximately 30 cm from fingertip, covering the wrist. Extended-cuff versions (40+ cm) protect the sleeve when working with disinfectant solutions or during contact with surfaces where sleeve contamination is a risk.
- Dexterity Limitation — Plastic over gloves reduce tactile sensitivity and fine motor control. They must not be used for any intra-oral or clinical procedure — they are strictly barrier tools for non-patient surface contact. Remove before returning to patient care.
- Packaging Format — Individual pairs (6 EGP each) suit chairside storage. Bulk boxes (80 EGP per 400 pcs) offer economy for high-volume Egyptian practices. Single-use only — discard after each non-patient contact episode.

Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight — thin PE film degrades in sustained UV exposure common during Egyptian summer storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should dental staff use plastic over gloves instead of changing examination gloves?
When should dental staff use plastic over gloves instead of changing examination gloves?
Use plastic over gloves when temporarily contacting non-patient surfaces during active treatment — adjusting the dental unit light, answering the phone, opening a drawer, or manipulating X-ray controls. Over gloves allow brief non-patient contact without removing and replacing examination gloves, reducing procedure interruption and per-procedure glove consumption in Egyptian clinics.
Are plastic over gloves suitable for direct patient contact?
Are plastic over gloves suitable for direct patient contact?
No. Plastic over gloves are designed as temporary barrier protection for non-patient surface contact only. They are not suitable for intra-oral procedures, fine motor tasks, or procedures requiring tactile sensitivity. Remove over gloves before returning to patient treatment and discard after each use.
What is the difference between light and heavy-duty plastic over gloves?
What is the difference between light and heavy-duty plastic over gloves?
Light over gloves (0.010–0.015 mm PE film) are low-cost, ambidextrous, and adequate for brief contact with clean non-patient surfaces. Heavy-duty over gloves (0.020–0.030 mm HDPE) provide greater puncture and tear resistance for contact with sharper or rougher surfaces, sterilisation packaging, or chemical handling. Both are single-use disposable.
How should plastic over gloves be disposed of after use?
How should plastic over gloves be disposed of after use?
Remove plastic over gloves by peeling from the wrist downward to avoid contaminating the underlying examination glove, then discard in clinical waste. Never reuse or attempt to decontaminate. All clinical disposables should be sealed in appropriate clinical waste bags for compliant disposal under Egyptian healthcare waste regulations.
Does MedSTA deliver plastic over gloves to dental clinics across Egypt?
Does MedSTA deliver plastic over gloves to dental clinics across Egypt?
Yes. MedSTA delivers plastic over gloves in light and heavy-duty formats to clinics across Cairo, Giza, Alexandria, and all Egyptian governorates, priced in EGP from 6 EGP per pair with bulk box options available for high-volume practices.
