What is PPE?
Personal protective equipment is protective clothing, helmets, goggles, or other garments or equipment designed to protect the wearer's body from injury or infection.
Here are some common types of PPE used in the healthcare, biotech, medical manufacturing and electronics manufacturing:
- Gloves: Protect the hands from exposure to harmful substances or infections. These are typically made of latex, nitrile, or vinyl, and are used for various tasks, including patient care and laboratory work.
- Masks: These cover the nose and mouth to protect the wearer from inhaling infectious agents, dust, or harmful chemicals.
- Safety Glasses and Googles: These are used to protect the eyes from splashes or sprays of body fluids or harmful substances. They can be used in combination with masks or respirators for more comprehensive protection of the face.
- Gowns and Aprons: These provide protection for the body and clothes from exposure to infections or harmful substances. Gowns are typically long-sleeved and cover the entire body, while aprons provide frontal protection.
- Hairnets and Caps: These are used to cover hair, protecting them from exposure and helping maintain a sterile environment.
- Shoe Covers and Booties: These are used to cover shoes, protecting them from exposure and helping maintain a sterile environment.
