STERLING* Nitrile Exam Gloves provide excellent fit and feel compared to latex. The new nitrile formulation provides excellent comfort and stretch, without sacrificing barrier properties or durability. They also have an Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) of 1.0. That means STERLING* Nitrile Exam Gloves are significantly less likely to have critical defects than exam gloves that just meet the ASTM 2.5 AQL requirement.
Performance in a Latex-Free Exam Glove
Latex allergy is a concern within the healthcare industry. With this exam glove, Halyard Health has created a latex-free glove with the protection, comfort, and sensitivity of latex, at a comparable value.
The Protection of Nitrile
Halyard Health’s manufacturing process boosts the tensile strength of nitrile—the force required to break through the glove—to increase its already superior barrier protection qualities.
The Tactile Sensitivity of Latex
The process also allows a reduction in glove thickness, which means that less force is required to stretch the material. That provides a latex-free glove with the dexterity and tactile sensitivity of natural rubber latex.
Glove Guidelines
Usage
- Gloves should be worn for all activities involving chemotherapy drugs, including compounding, administration, the handling of waste from recently treated patients, and cleanup of spills.
- If double-gloving, one pair should be worn under the gown cuff and the other worn over the gown cuff.
- If single-gloving, the gloves should be worn over the gown cuff.
- AOSHA recommends changing gloves every hour when working with cytotoxic drugs.
