US Made Nitrile Exam Medical Gloves

Exam grade gloves, often referred to as medical grade gloves, are specifically designed and rigorously tested to provide protection against a standard level of bloodborne pathogens and environmental contaminants. These gloves are distinguished by their Acceptable Quality Limit (AQL), which is a measure of the quality and consistency of the barrier protection they offer. Unlike industrial grade gloves, exam grade gloves undergo extensive testing to ensure they meet the stringent requirements necessary for medical applications. It's important to note that while these gloves offer enhanced protection, they are non-sterile and, therefore, not suitable for surgical use.

Nitrile is a synthetic material produced by merging acrylonitrile and butadiene, yielding a compound that's puncture-resistant and suitable for those with latex allergies. Technological advancements have made nitrile gloves just as cost-effective as latex, offering heightened protection.

Chosen for their association with hygiene and safety, these gloves are ideal for a broad array of medical tasks. Our 4 mil chemo-rated nitrile gloves, in particular, are designed for handling chemotherapy drugs safely, complying with ASTM D6978 and D6319 standards for oncology use.

Yes, our chemo-rated nitrile gloves are specifically manufactured to provide safety against chemotherapy drugs, meeting the required ASTM D6978 standards for oncology environments.

Yes. Nitrile Gloves are deemed safe for food handling, meeting all necessary safety standards for use in the food industry.

No, they are free from BPA, latex, phthalate, vinyl, MBT, and powder, making them a safe choice for a variety of settings and for individuals with various sensitivities.

Nitrile gloves provide excellent defense against numerous chemicals and contaminants. Their waterproof, greaseproof, oil-proof, and chemical-resistant features make them a preferred choice in the medical industry for their puncture resistance and robust protection.

Nitrile gloves are highly durable. To ensure they last as intended, store them properly away from direct sunlight and heat.

Through specialized recycling programs like TerraCycle, nitrile gloves can be recycled, underscoring our dedication to protecting not just users but also the environment. This effort helps in responsibly disposing of used disposable gloves.

Indeed, with a notably lower allergy rate than latex gloves, nitrile gloves are an excellent option for people with allergies or sensitive skin, offering both protection and comfort.

Consider the glove's thickness, puncture and chemical resistance, and whether it meets the specific standards required for your industry. For medical and dental use, look for gloves that meet ASTM standards. For chemical handling, ensure the gloves have been tested against the chemicals you'll be using. For food service, choose gloves that are FDA approved for food contact.

Store nitrile gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to maintain their integrity and extend their shelf life. Keep them in their original packaging until ready to use to prevent contamination.
