But latex gloves do not come in purple! How can they be better than nitrile?

IMHO, you cannot beat Biogel.

Whatever you wear, your hands still smell of dead afterwards.

But there's nothing like getting in there and doing some yourself, I think. Having done both prosection and dissection, both have their merits, but I'm very very glad we got the chance to do a lot of it ourselves. If we screwed up, there were usually ideal specimens around, or we could go and look at someone else's - the demonstrators were very good at going "Come and look at the gall bladder on table 37!" It definitely gives it a different feel to be doing it yourself, starting with a whole body and working through it, than to just be presented wiht a different section each week.

Yes, especially when our cadever had a cholecystectomy.:rolleyes:

Latex gloves??? Have Oxford sacked all their H&S peeps???? Shocking :wink:


They're whatever the blue ones are - in massive tubs rather than their boxes with slits in for speed so in my head gloves for that purpose are proceeded by 'latex' as default rather than noticing what they're called - so they might not be actually! I have a friend with an allergy so presumably they're not or she gets non ones no probs cos she's never complained... :smile:

You mean you divided a massive gallstone into 100 little ones?:eek: How can one have that many gall stones!:eek:

Oh, they were quite small, (like, small pebble size) but there were that many of them - they counted them out.
