Are the gloves in my catheter kit sterile?

The answer depends on the brand of your catheter supplies. Some brands of catheter kits may include a pair of sterile gloves, indicating they are sterilized during manufacturing.

Other brands may include non-sterile gloves.

However, even non-sterile gloves can help reduce contact with body fluids. Wearing gloves may help reduce cross-contamination.

It's recommended to check the packaging or product labeling. Sterile gloves should be specifically identified as "sterile" on their packaging or the catheter insertion kit's labeling or instructions.
