01113-XL Latex gloves, XL, blue
We generally recommend white and blue latex gloves for other medicine, hospitals, the food industry, occupational safety, close-contact services, government authorities, education and industry. For the food industry, we particularly recommend blue, food-grade latex gloves, as complete latex gloves or sections of latex gloves are easy to find quickly.
The properties of latex disposable gloves
Latex is a substance that can be obtained naturally from rubber trees and used for making disposable gloves - unlike nitrile or vinyl, which are made from synthetic raw materials. Latex also has excellent natural characteristics, so latex protective gloves fit the hand snugly and are very comfortable to wear. That is why these single-use gloves (and finger cots) are used in areas where latex protective gloves are worn for numerous processes and day-to-day tasks, such as in clinics and health care facilities, in doctor's or dentist's surgeries and in care homes, and also to some degree in food production and processing (to a limited extent, as cross-contamination can occur; nitrile is preferred here). Latex is an inexpensive alternative to vinyl or nitrile.Latex protective gloves in material thickness: "medium thickness"
The material is somewhat thicker - this single-use product is between 0.09 mm and 0.16 mm thick (medium thickness), making it less likely to puncture than a thin or ultra-thin disposable glove or finger cot. This disposable glove/finger cot is much stronger and more durable than thinner items composed of this material.Quality of the latex disposable gloves
These latex disposable gloves from the Med-Comfort brand are "premium" quality. AMPri exclusively sells products of either a very consistent basic standard of quality, a more upscale "classic" quality or superior "premium" quality. The powder-free, non-sterile, disposable glove is ambidextrous (can be used on either hand). It is not extra-long, which means it does not provide splash protection. These single-use gloves are fully textured. Fully textured latex disposable gloves have exceptional slip-proof properties and are perfect for working with slippery tools or materials. "Extra grip" is a special attribute of these latex disposable gloves. Category I for personal protective equipment (according to the EU PPE Regulation) only includes work equipment that protects the user against minor hazards to health. These latex protective gloves meet the defined criteria by protecting the user's skin from mildly caustic cleaning agents, for example. In addition, the latex gloves have a CE marking labelling them as a class I medical device. This classification primarily includes products that have no effect on the human body and pose minimal risk. The latex gloves are non-sterile; as a result, they are not suitable for sterile applications.Our suggestions for how latex gloves should be used
Latex protective gloves are especially suitable for food containing alcohol, greasy food, acidic food, dry food and watery food and, consequently, are approved for food handling in general. Consequently, we recommend latex gloves for these sectors: other medicine, hospitals, the food industry, occupational safety, close-contact services, government authorities, education and industry. If you have any questions about the potential applications of these latex gloves or are wondering if they are the right choice for you, please do not hesitate to reach out to us via the contact form!The advantages of latex
- Latex is a wholly natural product and is incredibly flexible.
- Latex is comfortable on the skin and has almost no noticeable impact on tactile sensitivity.
- Latex disposable gloves and finger cots are resistant to a wide variety of acids and alkalis.
The downsides of latex
- Unfortunately, price fluctuations are always a possibility, as latex is a natural raw material that depends on harvest quantities and market prices.
- Latex disposable gloves are known as allergenic because they contain water-soluble proteins that could aggravate the mucous membranes of the respiratory system, especially in the case of powdered disposable gloves or finger cots.
- Latex gloves and finger cots are not intended for handling oils or solvents, as these substances can rapidly penetrate the material.
