The Benefits of Nitrile Gloves

 

Nitrile Gloves have numerous benefits. Not only in the medical field but also various others where safe handling and protection is required. 

 

Standard Nitrile Gloves (Non-Medical)

 

  • Nitrile offers greater chemical resistance than all other glove production materials.
  • Nitrile gloves are recommended for high risk work environments where harsh chemicals are present.
  • Nitrile gloves can protect your hands from harsh corrosive chemicals that cannot be withstood by latex and vinyl gloves.
  • Nitrile gloves are completely Latex free so there's no need to worry about Latex allergies.
  • Nitrile is 3-4 times more puncture resistant than latex.
  • Nitrile Gloves conform to the shape of your hand and react to your body temperature to ensure a snug comfortable fit.
  • Nitrile gloves offer very low resistance to friction when being worn. This means that you can easily wear and remove your disposable nitrile gloves without risking a tear. They do not even require the allergy causing powder to ensure ease of wear.
  • Nitrile is now used to make medical grade, food service, and all kinds of industrial grade gloves.
  • Nitrile gloves are completely waterproof. This means that you can wear nitrile gloves underneath your regular working gloves to prevent water permeation. 
  • Nitrile gloves have a longer shelf life than latex gloves.

 

Benefits of Medical Grade Nitrile Gloves 

 

  • The glove strength can withhold against and protect an individual against bodily fluids and blood borne pathogens.
  • Medical grade gloves will never have powder

Exam-grade gloves, often referred to as medical gloves, were originally designed for non-surgical medical procedures. They differ from industrial-grade gloves due to one factor: rigorous factory-level testing. This testing is based on acceptable quality limits (AQL) set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. An AQL limit sets a standard for how many gloves within a batch can fail testing. A low AQL (meaning a small number of defective gloves) for exam-grade gloves is necessary to ensure the glove is of a high enough quality that it can provide the proper barrier protection against extreme risks.

Applications that require exam-grade gloves (in addition to medical and dental) include any industry where biological hazards are a concern. This includes caregiving, beauty, and tattoo services. Workers in these professions come into direct contact with the blood of the customers they are serving.
