Can gloves be autoclaved?

Yes, autoclaving is suitable for reusable gloves made of heat-resistant materials, such as neoprene or silicone. It is inadvisable to autoclave disposable gloves made of latex or nitrile prior to use, as steam sterilization can degrade the material and cause loss of barrier integrity, rendering them unusable; however, these gloves can be autoclaved after use, before final disposal.
