  2. What are the newest exam gloves made of? • In recent years, the health care industry has been making radical changes to their product offerings. • In response to the evolving demands of an evolving world, healthcare providers have been sourcing from more diverse sources, using a wider range of material types, and developing new types of products. • Gloves made from nitrile is a newer alternative that has made waves in the medical field as it is shown to be safe for those with latex allergies or sensitivities. Nitrile gloves are made from synthetic rubber resin that only comes into contact with food after rigorous chemical treatment. Nitrile gloves are also an FDA approved type of water-resistant rubber family-use glove. • Because there are so many different types of exam gloves made out of different materials, it can be hard to know which type is best for you.

  3. What are exam gloves made out of? • All exam gloves are made to protect the user from blood-borne pathogens, but no glove offers 100% protection. The key difference between exam gloves made of vinyl versus latex versus nitrile is resistance to wet or moist environments. • You may need either vinyl or latex exam gloves based on the nature of the environment in your work site. Nitrile gloves are an excellent option if you also have skin sensitivities to natural rubber. • Nitrile latex exam gloves are designed for high levels of bacterial contamination. They are more resistant to break through because they contain a coating that prevents bacteria from adhering to the gloves. Nitrile latex exam gloves are recommended for the most contaminated environments. • In addition to the type of material that makes up the exam glove, you also need to think about whether or not you need gloves with finger cuffs. • While some gloves look cool, some are designed to offer the added protection that finger cuffs provide.

  4. What are nitrile exam gloves made of? • Latex fentanyl safe exam gloves are highly permeable and are recommended for dry environments where penetration by fluid particles is lowest. Vinyl gloves are thicker, but more durable and can be worn longer because they resist degradation from dry oxygen, unlike latex. • When choosing the right exam glove for you: • The first thing to think about is the environment you will be working in. This will help you choose the right type of exam glove. • When you think about what a pair of exam gloves is made from, most people probably think about latex or nitrile these days. For those unfamiliar with newer glove materials, polyisoprene elastomer is a synthetic rubber that mimics natural rubber’s elasticity and low cost. Polyisoprene elastomer doesn’t need as much as “breaking in” as latex gloves do. And they’re available in both powdered and liquid form so it won’t have a noticeable effect on texture either- not like acrylic would. • Exam gloves are used to protect the hands of clinicians during examinations. They are also known as surgical gloves, examination gloves or vinyl gloves.

  5. Which is better latex or nitrile gloves? • Advances in the design of exam gloves have allowed for improved health and safety, greater usability and improved protection against environmental contact. • Exam gloves are made of latex, nitrile, vinyl, chloroprene or neoprene. Increased usage of these materials bring new qualities to exam gloves that clinicians need for their services. • Hands-on medical exam gloves are a critical part of the routine. • Of course, you should prepare by making sure your gloves are unexpired and in good condition, but there’s more to it than that. • You might think the newest exam gloves are made of latex, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), vinyl, nitrile rubber (neoprene), or some other material. Turns out, they’re all wrong. • “The trend in recent years has been to increase the use of latex-free products for personal protection. • Vinyl gloves were once among the most popular because they were durable and easy to care for, but they aren’t latex-free any more so entrepreneurs have turned to different options.
