The nurses should make all efforts to prolong the life

of the rubber goods. They should be purchased only
after their nature and durability have been
investigated. Natural and synthetic rubber
deteriorate with age, exposure to heat, light,
moisture and by chemicals. They should not be
creased or folded. Never expose them to sunlight.

boiling water bottle). Rubber goods should never be

or stove. They should be free from grease and acids.

These should not come in contact with metal goods.
Any fluid split on them should be wiped off at once.
When storing, care must be taken so that no two
surfaces come in contact with each other. They
should not be pressed out of shape by any weight.
They should be tied in knots. They should not be
hung on hooks or nails. Before subjecting rubber
goods to disinfection by chemical process, its
reaction to the disinfecting agent should be
determined. If boiling process is used, put them to
boiling water. If autoclaving is used, short periods of
exposure are recommended (10 to 15 min) with less
pressure.

5. If stains are present, care should be taken

to remove them by appropriate methods.

6. For disinfection, use Lysol or Dettol 1:40.

7. Hang them on a horizontal cylindrical

pole in shade to dry. Spread them without

8. When both surfaces are absolutely dry,

powder them lightly with French chalk

materials.

2. After removing from the hands, they are

washed with soap and cold water, first on
the outside, then invert and repeat on the
inside.

3. Rinse well with water both inside and

outside as described above.

4. Holes and tears are discovered by

submerging the glove filled with air in the
water. If there are holes the bubbles will
pass up through the water. Separate torn
gloves.

5. Hang them to dry. When the outside is

dried, turn inside out and dry.

6. When both sides are dried, they are

powdered inside and outside and packed
in pairs of the same size, right and left
gloves in glove wrapper. A small lump of
gloves powder in a gauze mesh for
powdering the hands is kept in the cuff of
the gloves.

CARE OF THE RUBBER TUBES

(catheters, rectal tubes, flatus tubes, Ryle’s tubes,

and infusion sets).

Catheters vary in size and quality according to

the special needs. Size of the catheters is marked
on it either in French or English scales. When it
is exposed to force or suction, a heavy walled
tube is desirable. When a great flexibility is
wanted, a tube with thin wall is indicated. The
points to remember in cleaning of the tubes are:

1. After use, wash them under running

water, holding the eye end upwards and
allowing the water to run through.

2. A small quantity of organic matter may

be lodged at the eye end. Remove them
using a swab stick.

CLEANING OF OTHER RUBBER GOODS

To clean the air cushion and airbeds, do not pour
water into them. It is sufficient to clean the
outside. During cleaning it should not be filled
with air, because while rubbing there is a
tendency to exert pressure on the seams at the
sides of the articles and they may crack or
weaken. The valves of the air cushions or beds
should never be immersed in water as it spoils
them, and is one of the reasons why they get out
of order. Cleaning and storing are done like other
rubber goods except that they should be slightly

inflated to prevent the two surfaces to come in

contact with each other.

In case of hot water bottles, ice caps and ice

collars, empty the contents immediately after use.
Wash and dry as in the case of other rubber
goods. Hang the bags upside down to drain the
water. The ice bags, which cannot be hung, are
dried with a piece of cloth. When the bags are
completely dried inflate them with air.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS answers.

 Rubber goods should be washed with a

mild soap, rinsed thoroughly, as soap
deteriorates rubber and dried before put
ting away.

 Rubber should be stored in a cool place,

protected from the air by an air-tight
covering of paper or by storing in a
SR. NO. SPECIFIC TIME CONTENT TEACHING LEARNING AV EVALUATION

tightly covered metal container to prevent

rapid oxidation.

 Repeated folding is likely to cause cracks.

 Sheets and cases of rubber should be

rolled or hung over abar in a cool, dark
place

 Serrated haemostats should never be used

on tubing as itcracks.

 For cleaning tubing, plenty of cold water

should be forced through the tube.

 Hot water bags, ice caps and air rings

should be partiallyinflated before being
put away.
SUMMARY: - This topic will be summarized in the following points -

- Cleaning of rubber mackintosh

- Care of rubber gloves
- Care of the rubber tubes
- Cleaning of other rubber goods
- Special considerations

CONCLUSION: - Care of rubber goods is essential to know for the students of B. Sc. Nursing first year, because they will have duty in the
clinical field and where they will experience to handling of rubber goods. This topic is also important to know for students of B. Sc. Nursing first
year because they are still unaware about the care of rubber goods. I have chose this topic because I am also interested to increase my knowledge
regarding care of rubber goods.
