Latex Examination Gloves
Made from natural rubber latex (NRL), it offers its users the best barrier protection in areas of potential risk associated with blood-borne pathogens and other substances or biohazards. The physical properties of the material provide excellent flexibility and uncompromised protection with high degree of sensitivity. It provides excellent comfort and feel. Latex outperforms other glove materials in terms of elasticity and tensile strength. Latex examination gloves are generally affordable and economical in terms of pricing.

Nitrile Examination Gloves
Nitrile gloves are made from Acrylonitrile-butadiene, a synthetic polymer. It is made from synthetic rubber which is non-latex and protein free, hence suitable for users who are sensitive to natural rubber proteins. Soft formulation or low modulus nitrile gloves provides excellent feel, fit, comfort and flexibility to users and reduces hand fatigue. It has good resistance to oil, grease and wide range of toxic chemicals and solvents. Nitrile gloves posses high abrasion and puncture resistance properties. Its elasticity is good but less superior as compared to natural rubber. It is generally more costly than natural rubber gloves.

Vinyl Examination Gloves
Made from Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC). It is ideal for users who are sensitive to natural rubber latex protein allergy. Vinyl gloves have good resistance to oil, ozone, grease, acid and bases. Vinyl provides a relaxed and comfortable fit that feels like a second body skin. Soft vinyl formulation offers greater comfort, fit and better flexibility. It has anti-static properties suitable for cleanroom and critical environment applications. Vinyl gloves are generally very affordable and economical.

Medical Gloves

The physical properties of the material provide excellent flexibility and uncompromised protection with high degree of sensitivity. It provides excellent comfort and feel. Latex outperforms other glove materials in terms of elasticity and tensile strength. Latex examination gloves are generally affordable and economical in terms of pricing.

Polyethylene Gloves
Disposable polyethylene or PE gloves are made with materials approved by USDA, provide protection from organic vapors, dusts and mists thus making them a smart choice for any food service application. All of the gloves are powder free. Our polyethylene gloves are printed with an embossed finish on both sides to improve grip and is ambidextrous to fit either hand.
