Exam Gloves

There are many types of exam gloves available to fit the needs of every medical facility. They can be sterile or non-sterile: The former are suitable for surgical procedures, while the latter are only suitable for physical examinations and other medical procedures. Gloves come in a wide variety of materials that offer different levels of protection, comfort and sensitivity to meet the personal preferences of each employee. The most common are nitrile exam gloves, and other materials include latex, polyisoprene and chloroprene. All glove types are available in various sizes, to ensure an optimal fit, and they undergo strict quality testing during manufacture for your peace of mind.




Latex examination gloves offer sensitivity and comfort

Latex gloves are among the most common types of safety and infection control items, and they work well to prevent cross-contamination between employees and patients. They offer medium protection, so they're suitable for non-invasive exams and procedures and to help prevent the spread of infectious diseases in non-medical settings and customer entry and check-out areas. They offer good fit, flexibility and sensitivity, so employees can perform their jobs to the best of their abilities.

Nitrile exam gloves are suitable for more invasive procedures

Nitrile gloves offer a higher level of protection in comparison with latex gloves, so they're suitable for invasive procedures and those that involve bodily fluids and blood. They also resist punctures and tears. They offer protection from chemical agents and are a good choice as workplace wellness items for employees who suffer from latex allergies. Some nitrile gloves are sterile for surgical procedures.

Chloroprene exam gloves offer reliable protection from chemical agents and bodily fluids

Chloroprene gloves are suitable for workers who need to handle harsh chemicals or potentially toxic substances, because the material forms an effective and resilient barrier. They're also a quality choice for medical professionals who need to perform invasive procedures and come into contact with bodily fluids.
