Latex Examination Gloves

Medbase Non-Sterile Examination Gloves

Manufactured by Medbase, these non-sterile examination gloves are designed for general-purpose use across medical, laboratory, food handling, and hygiene applications where protection from cross-contamination is essential, but a sterile barrier is not required.

Available in both powdered and powder-free options to suit different user preferences and clinical requirements.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Non-Sterile Designation

• Application: Ideal for routine patient examinations, administering non-invasive procedures, basic wound care, cleaning, laboratory sample handling, and general infection control tasks.

• Cost-Effective: More economical than sterile gloves, making them suitable for high-volume daily use.

   

2. Powdered & Powder-Free Options

• Powdered (USP Cornstarch): Lightly dusted for easy donning (putting on) and removal, especially in fast-paced environments or when hands are damp.

   

• Powder-Free (Polymer Coated): Features an interior polymer coating for smooth, easy donning without the residual powder. Preferred to minimize the risk of powder-related contamination or latex protein sensitivity (Type I) reactions in users and patients.

   

3. Material and Performance (May vary by specific model: Latex, Nitrile, or Vinyl)

• Latex: Offers high elasticity, tactile sensitivity, and comfort. (Note: Powder-Free is generally preferred to reduce protein exposure.)

• Nitrile: Synthetic, latex-free material with excellent puncture resistance and chemical splash protection, making it ideal for high-risk or lab environments.

• Vinyl: A cost-effective synthetic alternative for low-risk tasks and users with latex or nitrile sensitivities.

4. Design & Comfort

• Ambidextrous: Designed to fit either hand, allowing for quick selection and use.

• Beaded Cuff: Provides extra strength when donning and helps prevent the cuff from tearing or rolling down.

• Texture: Often feature a smooth or lightly textured (fingertip-textured) surface for an enhanced grip, especially in wet conditions.
