01037-L Latex gloves, L, white, (latex paint)
We recommend blue and white latex gloves for other medicine, hospitals, industry, close-contact services, the food industry, education, government authorities and occupational safety. For the food industry, we particularly recommend blue, food-grade latex gloves, as complete latex gloves or sections of latex gloves can be found quickly and easily.
The properties of latex disposable gloves
Latex gloves and finger cots are - in contrast to vinyl or nitrile - products made of natural materials. This is because the latex used in single-use gloves is extracted directly from rubber trees. Thanks to its excellent physical properties and its comfort for the wearer, there is presently no true replacement for natural latex. Consequently, the main areas of application for disposable latex gloves include clinics and health care facilities, doctors' or dentists' surgeries and nursing homes, as well as food production and processing facilities (to a lesser extent, as cross-contamination can occur; nitrile is preferable here). Latex is a low-cost alternative to vinyl or nitrile.Latex protective gloves in material thickness: "medium thickness"
The material is of medium thickness, measuring in at between 0.09 mm and 0.16 mm. This makes it more resistant to punctures than a thin or ultra-thin disposable glove or finger cot of similar material. This single-use glove/finger cot is significantly sturdier and more durable than thinner items made of this material.Quality of the latex gloves
These latex protective gloves from the Med-Comfort brand are of "premium" quality. AMPri only sells products of either a very solid basic standard of quality, a more upscale "classic" quality or impressive "premium" quality. The powder-free, non-sterile, disposable glove is ambidextrous (can be used on the left or the right hand). It has no extra length, which means it does not offer splash protection. The latex disposable gloves gloves are fully textured, so they offer a much more effective grip than other non-textured or partially textured disposable gloves. "Extra grip" is a special attribute of these latex gloves. As category III personal protective equipment in line with the PPE Regulation ((EU) 2016/425), they protect against health hazards that are permanent or can lead to death. The fact that these single-use gloves are labelled as a class I medical device means they pose little or no risk to wearers or patients, as the latex disposable gloves have no effect on the body when worn for short periods of time. These latex gloves are only intended for non-sterile applications. The AQL value represents the quality standard of a batch or lot (acceptable quality limit). For medical disposable gloves, this value for tightness may be a maximum of 1.5, whereby the following generally applies: the lower the AQL value, the more convincing the production. These latex gloves meet the requirements with an AQL value of 1.5.Our recommendations for how latex disposable gloves should be used
Latex gloves are particularly appropriate for acidic food, dry food and watery food and, consequently, are approved for food handling in general. The latex disposable gloves offer protection from microorganisms and are consequently resistant to viruses, bacteria and fungi. The latex disposable gloves provide chemical protection (chemical protection type B) against penetration as defined by the EN 374 standard. EN 374 sets the minimum penetration time for a defined period of time and for a specific number of chemicals from a list of specified test chemicals. Type A = 6 test chemicals/30 minutes, Type B = 3 test chemicals/30 minutes, Type C = 1 test chemical/10 minutes. What's more, the latex disposable gloves are airtight and waterproof. We therefore recommend latex protective gloves for the following sectors: other medicine, hospitals, industry, close-contact services, the food industry, education, government authorities and occupational safety. If you have questions about the potential uses of these latex protective gloves or are unsure if they are the right solution for your requirements, please do not hesitate to reach out to us via the contact form!The benefits of latex in protecting the hands
- Latex is a wholly natural product and is highly flexible.
- Latex is comfortable on the skin and has almost no noticeable impact on tactile sensitivity.
- Latex disposable gloves and finger cots are impervious to a broad range of acids and alkalis.
The disadvantages of latex as a hand protection material
- As a natural raw material, latex is dependent on harvest quantities and commodity prices. This can cause price fluctuations.
- Water-soluble proteins contained in latex can trigger allergies if the gloves are used frequently. Alongside the latex products themselves, the powder on the latex protective gloves or finger cots (powdered version) is also a serious trigger of allergies.
- Latex gloves can be permeated by oil and solvents and, as a result, they are not intended for handling these substances.
