 The manufacturing goal of Medical-Grade Exam Gloves is to protect the wearer. Contrary to popular belief, Exam Gloves are not all sterile. The term, medical-grade, indicates that the glove will act as a reliable, protective barrier which prevents the transmission of organisms or blood-borne pathogens through the material. Our Exam Gloves protect your hands from this exposure. Medical Grade Exam Gloves are typically used in hospitals (outside the operating rooms) and many other industrial and home applications.
We offer the finest quality Medical-Grade Exam Gloves available in both Latex and Latex-Free types. What is the difference between Latex & Latex Free?
Latex Gloves are made of natural rubber latex. They provide superior barrier protection and are considered best for fit and function. Also, they are very durable.
Vinyl Gloves (Latex Free) are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and are latex-free. Since vinyl gloves are not form-fitting, they fit more loosely than latex and are normally a bit less in price.
Nitrile Gloves (Latex Free) are an oil-based product which have similar physical characteristics of latex gloves. They stretch like rubber, although they have no latex in them. They are normally blue or green in color and offer good barrier protection. Although popular with healthcare providers, police, and industrial applications, nitrile gloves are more expensive than either latex or vinyl gloves.
