Nitrile: the Versatile and Cost-effective Choice

Worldwide Nitrile gloves have become increasingly more popular in recent years as the awareness of Natural Rubber Latex allergies has grown. Nitrile, a synthetic copolymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene, does not contain any of the latex proteins known to cause latex allergies and can be worn by latex-sensitive individuals.

This rise in popularity has created significant improvements in the comfort of Nitrile gloves mainly due to the introduction of newer material grades allowing thinner, softer gloves to be produced.

Nitrile is the versatile and cost effective solution for most medical and industrial applications where worker protection is critical and cost important. Nitrile offers:

• Low resistance to friction for easy donning
• Excellent tear and puncture resistance – up to three times better than latex of the same thickness
• Superior combination of abrasion and chemical resistance, particularly to most fuels, oils, fats, solvents and acids
• No latex proteins – can be worn by most everyone without risk of Type 1 latex allergy reactions

Our Nitrile medical examination gloves comply with the requirements of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and European Commission Medical Device Directives MDD 93/42/EEC.

Safeguarding healthcare professionals in the workplace from blood borne pathogens and toxic chemical hazards is what Medisafe does best.
