Latex gloves are the most common type of medical glove, and they are known for their elasticity, comfort, and fit. However, some people are allergic to latex, so non-latex gloves are a good option for these individuals. Explore our range of latex gloves to find the ideal fit for your practice's needs. Consider factors like powdered vs. powder-free and glove thickness to ensure optimal protection and tactility.
Vinyl gloves are the least expensive type of medical glove, but they are also the least durable. They are often used for short-term procedures that do not involve contact with bodily fluids. Choose vinyl gloves for specific applications while considering alternatives for higher-risk procedures.
Nitrile gloves are a good all-purpose medical glove. They are durable, puncture-resistant, and resistant to chemicals. They are also a good choice for people who are allergic to latex. Crucially, their latex-free design ensures safety for both you and your patients with latex allergies.

Choosing the right type of medical glove is crucial for ensuring patient safety and staff well-being in a healthcare setting. With an array of options available, understanding the key features and benefits of nitrile, latex, and vinyl gloves is essential.
Proper medical glove removal is a crucial step in preventing the spread of germs and protecting yourself from contamination. The CDC recommends a specific technique to ensure safe and effective doffing (removal) of gloves. Here's a breakdown of the steps along with additional insights:
Avoid touching your bare skin with the contaminated outer surface of the glove. Pinch the cuff area of one glove with your thumb and index finger of the opposite gloved hand.
Think "inside-out, pull it out." With a gentle yet firm grip, peel the glove down your hand, turning it inside out as you remove it. This ensures any potential contaminants on the glove's exterior are contained within the fold.
Maintain a closed system by holding the first inverted glove in your remaining gloved hand. This prevents accidental contact with contaminated surfaces.
Similar to the first glove, insert your fingers beneath the cuff of the remaining glove.
Maintain the inside-out motion while peeling the second glove off. This ensures both gloves are contained within the inverted fold, minimizing the risk of touching contaminated surfaces.
Discard the gloves in a designated biohazard waste bin or sharps container, depending on the type of gloves used and potential risks of exposure. Never reuse gloves.
Washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds is essential to remove any lingering contaminants that may have transferred during glove removal. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol content.
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 non-latex 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.
