PPE, including gloves, gowns, aprons and masks, is vital in mitigating HAI-related risks. PPE functions as a frontline defense by protecting healthcare workers and patients from infectious agents during care delivery. Employers at healthcare organizations or institutions, such as hospitals, clinics, care homes, or other medical facilities, are legally obligated under health and safety laws to conduct risk assessments and implement control measures, including the provision and correct use of PPE, to reduce patient harm from exposure to infectious agents. As essential medical devices, PPE also falls under broader regulatory frameworks designed to ensure safety and efficacy. The routine use of PPE is reducing the incidence of HAIs and preventing the spread of infectious diseases in healthcare settings.

Gloves and protective clothing such as surgical gowns and isolation gowns are the most widely used PPE equipment in healthcare settings. The leading companies in the healthcare PPE market are 3M, Ansell Ltd., Top Glove Corp. Bhd, Molnlycke Health Care, O&M Halyard Inc., Cardinal Health, Hartalega and Winner Medical.
