01230-M Latex gloves, M, white
We often recommend white and blue latex gloves for occupational safety, government authorities, education, hospitals, food industry service, industry, close-contact services and other medicine. For the food industry, we particularly recommend blue, food-grade latex gloves, as whole latex gloves or sections of latex gloves can be found quickly and easily.
The properties of latex disposable gloves
Latex is a substance that can be obtained naturally from rubber trees and used for manufacturing single-use gloves - unlike nitrile or vinyl, which are made from synthetic raw materials. Latex also has excellent natural properties, so latex protective gloves fit the hand smoothly and are extremely comfortable to wear. Consequently, these single-use gloves (and finger cots) are used in fields where latex protective gloves are worn for many 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 a certain degree in food production and processing (to a lesser extent, as cross-contamination can occur; nitrile is preferable here). Latex is a more affordable alternative to vinyl or nitrile.Latex disposable gloves in material thickness: "medium thickness"
With a material thickness between 0.09 mm and 0.16 mm, a finger cot or disposable glove of medium thickness is less likely to puncture than a thin or ultra-thin disposable glove or finger cot of identical material. This single-use glove/finger cot is much sturdier and more durable than thinner items composed of this material.Quality of the latex gloves
These latex protective gloves from the Med-Comfort brand are "premium" quality. AMPri only sells products of either a very consistent basic standard of quality, a more deluxe "classic" quality or top-notch "premium" quality. The powder-free, non-sterile, single-use glove is ambidextrous (can be used on either hand). It has no extra length, which means it does not offer splash protection. These disposable gloves are fully textured. Fully textured latex gloves have exceptional non-slip properties and are an ideal choice if you need to work with slippery tools or materials. This product features the special characteristic "extra grip". The EU PPE Regulation defines personal equipment that protects the user against health hazards. These gloves are classified as category I PPE. This classification means that the latex gloves protect against minor hazards, such as mildly caustic cleaning products. Medical devices are categorised in terms of the potential risk they pose to the patient. Class I comprises products that pose little or no risk. And precisely those criteria are met by these latex gloves. The latex gloves are non-sterile; consequently, they are not designated for use in sterile applications.We recommend latex disposable gloves for the following applications
Latex protective gloves are especially appropriate 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 disposable gloves for the following sectors: occupational safety, government authorities, education, hospitals, food industry service, industry, close-contact services and other medicine. If you have any questions about the possible uses of these latex disposable gloves or are not sure if they are the right solution for your requirements, please do not hesitate to contact us via the contact form!Latex protective gloves: The benefits of latex
- Latex is a natural product of rubber trees; it is very flexible and strong.
- Latex is comfortable on the skin and has very little impact on tactile sensitivity.
- It also offers protection against many acids and alkalis.
The downsides of latex as a hand protection material
- Unfortunately, price fluctuations are always possible, as latex is a natural raw material that relies on harvest quantities and market prices.
- If worn regularly, latex is more likely to trigger allergies because of the water-soluble proteins it contains. Latex protective gloves are not recommended for people who suffer from allergies. The powder on powdered latex gloves is also a potential hazard because it can aggravate the mucous membranes of the respiratory system.
- Latex disposable gloves are oil- and solvent-permeable and, as a result, they are not approved for handling such substances.
