Subject: Surgical gloves

I am adviser to the Ministry of Health in Argentina.
Any questions, about a subject that is always on the top of the desk:

Are surgical gloves sterilized with ethilen oxid approved?
What is the maximun ppm content?
Are there special precautions to take for the use, to avoit damage or hazardous risks of skin contamination?

If yes or not: are there an international specification (FDA, CE, etc.,) about that?

Very grateful in advance.

As we do not sterilize that way (- we do sterilize with gamma radiation), we do not have any experience with ethilen sterilization and are not able to answer this question.
