The force is unable to find a supply of adapted ones and is seeking advice or assistance from any organisation which has dealt with a similar problem. Manufacturers approached will only take orders for expensive vast quantities.
The force said such a large amount would not be needed and would cost tens of thousands of pounds. The officer had to have his finger amputated after an injury on duty.
Deputy Chief Constable Iain Spittal said: "Disposable gloves are used across many industries including health, manufacturing and food preparation. It may be that there are people who have experience of commissioning adapted versions of gloves that will provide the barrier necessary."
