There is often a lot of confusion as to what medical grade disposable gloves you should be using. Here’s our simple guide to help make things a bit clearer.

Vinyl Medical Grade Gloves

Manufactured from a plastic called PVC, they are latex free, helping to reduce the risk of allergic reactions. 
 
Our Vinyl range is competitively priced and offers the user protection from weak chemicals and biological hazards and is ideal for low-risk applications.

Nitrile Medical Grade Gloves

Manufactured from a synthetic rubber called Nitrile, they are Latex free, helping to reduce the risk of hypersensitivity and allergic reactions. Our Nitrile range is also low in residual chemicals, helping to reduce the risk of contact dermatitis. Nitrile gloves are flexible and offer an excellent fit and feel great against the skin. They also offer excellent protection from chemicals and biological hazards, as well as being ideal for low and high-risk applications.

Latex Medical Grade Gloves

Manufactured from natural rubber latex, our Latex range are extremely flexible and offer an excellent fit and skin like feel. 
 
They also provide good protection from chemicals and biological hazards as well as being ideal for low and high-risk applications, especially for those that require a higher level of finger tip sensitivity.

Synthetic Medical Grade

Manufactured from a synthetic emulsion PVC plastic, Synthetics are latex free, helping to reduce the risk of allergic reactions. 
 
Equipped with an improved feel and fit, Synthetic gloves are stronger and more flexible than Vinyl gloves. Offering the user protection from weak chemicals and biological hazards, Synthetic gloves are ideal for low-risk applications.
 
Non-sterile medical grade examination gloves are classified as a Class 1 medical device and therefore must carry a CE marking on their packaging and be compliant with BS EN 455 standards.
