How to Choose Hospital Gloves for Healthcare

Selecting suitable hospital gloves is an essential part of your infection-control strategy. UniSafe Gloves offers a range of powder-free, medical-grade gloves that are specialized for demanding healthcare environments. Most of our medical gloves feature textured surfaces for a more secure grip when handling instruments and lab samples. 

• Excellent flexibility for effortless dexterity
• Durability to resist tears and punctures
• Protection from certain chemicals and biohazards
• Textured surfaces for a secure grip
• Tactile sensitivity for a natural touch
• Snug fit (not too tight or loose)
  
  

Remember that size and fit make all the difference when choosing medical gloves for your hospital or healthcare facility. Gloves that are too tight can restrict movement and cause hand fatigue during examinations or procedures. Gloves that are too loose can compromise dexterity and tactile sensitivity required for accuracy in delicate tasks like locating veins and administering IVs. 

Exam Gloves

Exam gloves are indispensable for doctors, nurses, general medical practitioners, and surgeons. Disposable examination gloves for medical use must be powder-free to minimize the risk of contamination. They should be puncture-resistant for safety from sharp surgical instruments and resist tears and leaks when handling samples in various clinical settings. Whether conducting routine check-ups, performing surgeries, or taking biological samples, quality medical exam gloves will be your first defense against infections and cross-contamination.

Surgical Gloves

Surgical gloves are vital for surgeons and medical staff during surgical procedures. They are designed to provide enhanced protection and sensitivity for surgical precision. These gloves are typically sterilized and wrapped in individual pouches, they are also hand-specific as opposed to ambidextrous. Surgical gloves can also feature longer cuff lengths for more robust protection in high-risk, unpredictable environments.

What are Medical Gloves Made of?

Our medical examination gloves are available in various materials, including powder-free latex, nitrile, and vinyl, and each meets FDA-approved standards for medical use. However, it’s important to note that medical-grade vinyl gloves are generally not made to the same high standards as nitrile or latex. Your choice of material will depend on the level of risk involved in your task. 

Medical gloves in different materials and thicknesses can enhance your feel and control during delicate procedures while offering a balance of resistance to tears, punctures, and chemical irritants. With the right fit, UniSafe's latex and nitrile medical disposable gloves provide a snug yet stretchy fit to ensure comfort and reduce hand fatigue so you can focus on patient care with optimal hand protection and dexterity. 

Nitrile Exam Gloves

Nitrile exam gloves suit various medical settings because of their strength, versatility, and chemical resistance. Powder-free nitrile examination gloves range in thicknesses from TopGrip GenX in 4mil – to our 10mil Crowbar gloves with an extended cuff length for extra wrist protection. These synthetic rubber gloves are a popular choice for those seeking exam gloves not made with natural rubber latex in order to avoid latex allergies.

Latex Exam Gloves

Latex exam gloves are often favored for procedures that require a soft, sensitive touch. Natural rubber latex is inherently flexible and soft for high touch sensitivity. Our powder-free latex examination gloves feature textured surfaces for a firm grip in wet and dry conditions. Our heavy-duty Rampage latex medical gloves come in a thick 15mil with extended wrist coverage for high-risk situations such as for EMS personnel or firefighters. 

Vinyl Exam Gloves

Vinyl exam gloves are a practical choice for general, short-term medical use, routine patient interactions, and non-invasive procedures. Since they tend to have a looser fit, they can be less durable and have less tactile sensitivity compared to latex or nitrile gloves. Still, they are a cost-effective choice for quick tasks, especially for healthcare workers who use these medical supplies daily. Our Reflex vinyl exam gloves may be preferred to avoid allergic reactions from natural rubber latex. 

Medical Glove FAQs

Are Nitrile Gloves Safe for Medical Use?

▼

Medical nitrile gloves are known for their versatility, toughness, and comfort. Not all nitrile gloves may be approved for medical use; however, our powder-free nitrile gloves – including VersaFlex, TopGrip, and Crowbar gloves – meet all FDA standards to be considered safe for medical use.

Are Vinyl Gloves Safe for Medical Use?

▼

Vinyl gloves, such as our Reflex powder-free vinyl exam gloves, are a safe option for non-invasive medical procedures, especially for those seeking doctors' gloves made without natural rubber latex. However, in higher-risk medical settings, nitrile or latex options may be more comfortable and durable.

How Should Medical Gloves Fit?

Medical gloves should fit snugly yet comfortably. They shouldn't be too loose or baggy or too tight and restricting. Healthcare gloves should allow full hand movement and dexterity, essential for precise medical tasks. Discover which size will fit you best with our disposable glove size guide.
