Sterile Gloves and Topical Applications
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios


Defined Tag:

Sterile gloves are an essential when it comes to working with antiseptic solutions and medical ointments. Sterile gloves should always be worn when topical agents such as silver sulfadiazine (SILL ver sul fa DIE ah zeen TAH pih cal) topical are used. This type of antifungal and antibacterial medication should only be applied in the most sterile of conditions so as to avoid any type of contamination or spread of infection from patient to healthcare provider. Silver sulfadiazine topical is very harmful to the eyes, so if it comes in contact with anyone’s eyes, rinse the eyes out with water as quickly as possible. Make sure you thoroughly rinse, not just a quick splash.

This type of topical agent is routinely used to both treat and prevent skin infections from occurring on skin that is already vulnerable because it has been burned. In some cases, silver sulfadiazine topical is also used for other types of skin problems but burns are its most common use. Keep in mind that a sterile set of circumstances in every way is a must.

This topical agent can be applied by the person who has sustained the burn or by a doctor or nurse. Make sure you follow your doctor’ s orders in regards to the use of the skin medication. Always clean your hands thoroughly before applying the ointment and then put on a pair of sterile gloves.

Take care to clean the area that has been affected and make sure that all dead and burned skin has been removed. When applying the cream make sure it covers the entire area to a depth of approximately 1/16th of an inch (or 1.5 mm). If you accidentally wipe some of the cream off make sure to add more. Once the area has been treated it does not have to be covered unless a doctor instructs a patient to do so. Silver sulfadiazine topical should always be stored at room temperature because heat and moisture are not good for it.

If you are uncertain as to where to find sterile gloves or how to put them all, speak with your healthcare provider. He or she will be able to assist you in whatever way you require.
