Nitrile Examination Gloves
Premium protection and comfortable wear
Nitrile gloves are good all-around medical gloves. They are recommended for a wide range of uses, including chemotherapy, patient care, handling bodily fluids, and cleaning.

- Made from synthetic rubber (nitrile butadiene rubber)
- Do not contain natural rubber latex
Latex Examination Gloves
Excellent touch sensitivity and grip
Latex gloves are a good choice for medical and protective use. The gloves fit like a second skin and allow free movement of fingers with a high level of touch sensitivity and good grip. Latex gloves are particularly suited for patient care, also when cross-contamination is a concern.

Vinyl gloves are also easy to don and doff while being comfortable to wear due to a high level of stretch and flexibility in the material.
