Hi Rita , like wise ( referring to Kate Hipsley email response) with us at our hospital- this glove was originally used for staff who had skin irritant / breakdown of skin integrity.
Feedback from these staff enforce how well their skin responded to this type of glove. We currently have this glove across whole LHD

Subject: Re: Oatmeal nitrile gloves
Dear Rita, this product is our go to glove when staff experience skin issues and where their medical advice is to try an alternate glove. The possible risks you mentioned in my opinion would be negated by the fact that the HCWs skin is usually in a better state (or at least not deteriorating further) after using the gloves.
Happy to discuss our experience offline if you wish.

Dear All,
Has any of your facilities used oatmeal nitrile gloves? If so, are you aware of any efficacy issues or risks associated with the usage of theses gloves? Is there any interaction that can occur with alcohol based hand rubs/gels/foams and any residue left from the gloves on hands after removal? Any information would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Rita
