Three types of personal protective equipment (PPE) that can help guard against infection from bloodborne pathogens include gloves, which provide a barrier between skin and potentially infectious materials; masks or face shields, which protect the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, and eyes; and gowns or aprons, which cover the body and clothing to prevent contamination. Using these PPEs is essential in healthcare settings or situations where exposure to blood or other infectious fluids may occur. Proper donning and doffing of PPE are also crucial to minimize the risk of infection.
