Advantages of Disposable Laboratory PPE

In laboratory work, the PPE or Personal Protective Equipment used must ensure optimal hygiene and safety conditions, as professionals handle materials and components that may pose a risk to their safety.

Laboratories carry out a wide range of operations, involving the handling of many different products with varying characteristics and levels of risk. In these situations, it is essential to use Personal Protective Equipment that is suitable and effective against the hazards present.

For all these reasons, disposable items are the most suitable option for laboratory PPE. Thanks to their single-use nature, disposable PPE is always in perfect condition to ensure the user's hygiene and safety, without requiring cleaning or disinfection after use, making it an economical option as well.

What to include in a disposable laboratory PPE

When assembling our laboratory PPE, we must first consider the tasks carried out frequently and which parts of the body are exposed or involved in the process.

Among the essential Personal Protective Equipment items, we must include facial protection such as masks and disposable beard covers; protection for the upper limbs such as gloves and disposable sleeves; as well as general protective clothing such as gowns, aprons or disposable coveralls.

If additional caution is required, we may complement the equipment with disposable shoes or shoe covers to prevent contamination from external agents, or disposable caps when it is necessary to avoid contamination of materials by sweat or hair.

It must always be remembered that disposable PPE should be used only once. Reusing or extending its use may reduce its protective properties.

Characteristics of laboratory PPE

Laboratory PPE must meet specific characteristics, compositions and performance standards to minimise risks caused by splashes, contact, accidental inoculation or exposure to harmful substances.

In general, all PPE elements must be disposable, waterproof, resistant to impacts and microbiological agents, high quality, capable of protecting against different chemicals, and easy to put on and remove safely.

PPE care and maintenance in a laboratory

Storage, use, cleaning, maintenance and disinfection of PPE are essential to ensure maximum protection and hygiene. It is necessary to follow the manufacturer's instructions and correctly apply each component of the laboratory PPE.
