Glove Buying Guide: http://bit.ly/1zWR6YS

Today, it’s all about gloves. Medline has put together a glove buying guide to help you become a glove expert and choose the right glove for your company or organization.

Let’s review the different types of gloves available and their ideal applications.

There are medical grade gloves, for use in nursing homes, doctors’ offices, hospitals, surgery centers and research facilities, – and non-medical grade gloves, more widely used by car dealerships, chemical manufacturers, janitorial companies, landscapers, restaurants and more.

Gloves are available in three different materials – vinyl, latex and nitrile.

Vinyl gloves, the most economical of the three, are latex-free and great for use in personal care, elderly care and cleaning and any time a general moisture barrier is needed. These are not ideal for chemical resistance and are sometimes susceptible to tearing.

Latex gloves provide a good organic barrier and a comfortable fit and feel. They are more suitable for personal care, surgery, dentistry and first aid. However, there are many people with latex allergies and, depending on how you plan to use your gloves, we ask that you take this into consideration.

Last, but not least, Nitrile gloves are able to provide the fit and feel of latex and feature high puncture, abrasion and chemical resistance. Less elastic than latex, we recommend nitrile gloves for laboratories, emergency response units and more.

We can help you make the right glove selection for your every need from our Medline glove line featuring the latest technology, outstanding fit, comfort, performance and quality assurance.

Stockings may increase circulation problems if not worn properly.
Diabetic patients are at particular risk of ischemia from improperly worn stockings.

1.)What I want you to understand is that you are wearing compression stockings for a serious purpose-you have vascular insufficiency.

2.) If you are diabetic you are especially prone to vascular complications

3.) Everything can be made better if you allow your stocking to properly do it’s job.

Let me preface by saying that I already assume you have been prescribed the correct compression rating. That is also important.

There are two basic types of full length compression stkgs. 1) Panty hose, 2) Thigh high
They each have their place.
There are many brands and different qualities of stockings. They fall into two broad categories:
1) those for post op recovery 1-3months maximum.- the less expensive stockings
2) Those for long term use. Most expensive, e.g. Sigvaris 500 rubber series. I use the 503T series with no silicone beads and open toe. I order the shorter of the two sizes listed for my leg size. Over time they will stretch up to 6″. These stocking run about $120 from Ames dot com. up to $160 or more from ‘other’ companies.
My medicare reimburses me about $31 on each pair.

Known as the “Gold” standard in the industry, Sigvaris stockings are built tough. And the best thing is that if you are wearing them with shorts for jogging nobody will mistake you for something else. One look and passerby’s will be saying “he probably was injured in the military” and they may salute you.
Others will think you are a “medical problem” and they will feel deep sympathy for you. Wear them with honor.

For women with sensitive skin the garter belt method may be best.
For men use the glue method. Glue will keep the stocking in place all day and accommodate constant movements without failing.

The glue is a naturally derived compound. Some people may be allergic to it so test it twice before you decide. A standard 2oz bottle will last about 1-2 months. I pay under $6 per bottle by the dozen.

ADVANTAGES: Easy to apply/water washable/Effective

DISADVANTAGES: The glue may damage lower quality stockings/ possible skin irritation

If you wear stockings properly you will get a noticeable improvement in your circulation.
