What item can be handled without gloves when preparing for treatment?

When preparing for treatment, the electrolysis equipment can be handled without gloves because it is typically considered to be clean equipment that will not come into direct contact with bodily fluids or contaminated materials during the setup phase. This equipment is often sanitized and is designed to be safe for use in a controlled environment.

In contrast, cleaning supplies generally require gloved handling due to the potential for exposure to chemicals that could irritate the skin. Personal protective equipment is worn as a barrier to protect both the practitioner and the client from contamination and should typically be put on with gloves to ensure maximum hygiene. Wound dressings may also come into contact with pathogens, necessitating the use of gloves to prevent infection.

Thus, the handling of electrolysis equipment without gloves is an accepted and safe practice based on its usual sanitation status and absence of direct exposure to contaminants during preparation.
