Nitrile Examination Gloves
Synthetic gloves for latex-sensitive users and chemotherapy handling
Medical devices
Nitrile gloves are the default choice where latex allergy is a concern or where the task involves cytostatic drugs, oils and disinfectants. Malaysian lines run nitrile on the same dipping platforms as latex, which lets a factory switch grade and colour without changing the qualification file.
For chemotherapy work, gloves are tested against six cytotoxic agents to ASTM D6979 and are usually paired with a long cuff and a second pair for doffing.
Typical applications
- Emergency departments and infection control units
- Oncology wards and pharmacy compounding
- Dental and veterinary practice
- Automotive service and paint shops
- Electronics assembly and cleanroom entry
