Nitrile gloves offer better tactile sensitivity, comfort, dexterity and puncture resistance than both rubber and vinyl. These powder-free gloves are made stronger through a manufacturing process called fusion bonding. Fusion bonding integrates synthetic polymers into the material to create a multi-layered glove for enhanced protection. Gloves measure 4.4 mil (.0044") thick in the palm, 4.7 mil (.0047) thick in the fingers and 9.5" in length. Exam Gloves provide the primary shield required to prevent contact with infectious substances, including bloodborne pathogens, and reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
