Henry Schein is a leading supplier of medical exam gloves. There are two major factors when selecting the proper medical glove: barrier protection and allergen content. Henry Schein understands that all patients are different — therefore, we manufacture and carry a wide variety of exam gloves, including:

Features of Nitrile, Latex & Vinyl Gloves

Latex Gloves:

  • Made from natural rubber latex
  • Popular choice due to their superior tactile sensitivity and fit
  • Not as durable as nitrile gloves
  • Often are more affordable than nitrile gloves

Nitrile Gloves:

  • Made from synthetic rubber
  • More resistant to punctures and chemicals than latex gloves
  • Good alternative for those with latex sensitivities
  • Commonly used in health care settings due to their superior chemical resistance and barrier protection against blood-borne pathogens
  • Increased durability and longer shelf life

Vinyl Gloves:

  • Made from synthetic materials, specifically PVC (polyvinyl chloride)
  • Do not offer the same level of barrier protection as nitrile or latex gloves, especially against viruses and bacteria
  • Known for their comfortable fit and excellent flexibility
  • Have low particulate and protein content, making them suitable for use in environments that require a low particulate count, such as cleanrooms

Safe Glove Removal

The CDC's recommendation for safe glove removal is:

  1. Grasp the outside of one glove at the wrist. Do not touch your bare skin.
  2. Peel the glove away from your body, pulling it inside out.
  3. Hold the glove you just removed in your gloved hand.
  4. Peel off the second glove by putting your fingers inside the glove at the top of your wrist.
  5. Turn the second glove inside out while pulling it away from your body, leaving the first glove inside the second.
  6. Dispose of the gloves safely. Do not reuse the gloves.
  7. Clean your hands immediately after removing gloves.

What are the Best Medical Gloves for Sensitive Skin?

We understand the importance of providing optimal protection without compromising your comfort. For individuals with sensitive skin, we highly recommend considering gloves made from nitrile material. Nitrile gloves are an excellent choice for those with sensitivities as they are latex-free and hypoallergenic. Unlike latex gloves, which may trigger allergic reactions in some individuals, nitrile gloves offer a gentle touch while maintaining a high level of durability and barrier protection. Their soft and flexible composition ensures a comfortable fit without sacrificing tactile sensitivity. By choosing nitrile gloves, you can confidently safeguard yourself and your patients, ensuring both safety and comfort during medical procedures.
