01037-XS Latex gloves, XS, white
We recommend blue and white latex gloves for government authorities, education, hospitals, other medicine, industry, close-contact services, the food industry and occupational safety. For the food industry, we particularly recommend blue, food-grade latex gloves, as whole latex gloves or sections of latex gloves are easy to find quickly.
The properties of latex disposable gloves
Latex is extracted from rubber trees, making it the only natural material used in producing single-use gloves. Its outstanding properties ensure comfortable wear. Consequently, latex cannot yet be fully replaced, despite extensive research into substitute materials. Latex gloves are primarily used in clinics and health care facilities, doctors' or dentists' surgeries and care homes, as well as in food production and processing (to a limited extent, as cross-contamination can occur; nitrile is preferable here). Latex is an inexpensive alternative to vinyl or nitrile.Latex protective gloves in material thickness: "medium thickness"
The material is somewhat thicker - this disposable product is between 0.09 mm and 0.16 mm thick (medium thickness), meaning that it is more puncture-resistant than a thin or ultra-thin disposable glove or finger cot. This disposable glove/finger cot is significantly sturdier and more durable than thinner products composed of this material.Quality of the latex disposable gloves
These latex gloves from the Med-Comfort brand are "premium" quality. AMPri exclusively offers products of either a very consistent basic standard of quality, a more deluxe "classic" quality or superior "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 single-use gloves are fully textured. Fully textured latex disposable gloves have first-rate non-slip properties and are the right choice for working with slippery instruments or materials. This product features the special attribute "extra grip". The Latex gloves deliver real added value in the sense that they protect against deadly hazards or irreversible damage to health, as they meet the definition of category III personal protective equipment (PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425). Among other things, they protect the skin from harmful substances and compounds and provide protection from cuts. Latex protective gloves are categorised as class I medical devices. This class encompasses medical items or products that have no impact on the body and usually pose minimal risk. These latex disposable gloves are only approved for non-sterile use. The production quality can be determined by the AQL value, i.e. the acceptable quality level. For disposable medical gloves, the AQL is 1.5 or less, which is exactly what these latex protective gloves meet.We recommend latex protective gloves for these applications
Latex protective gloves are particularly suitable for acidic food, dry food and watery food and, consequently, are intended for food handling in general. The latex protective gloves offer protection from microorganisms, meaning that they are impervious 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 certain period of time and for a specific number of chemicals from a list of defined test chemicals. Type A = 6 test chemicals/30 minutes, Type B = 3 test chemicals/30 minutes, Type C = 1 test chemical/10 minutes. In addition, the latex disposable gloves are airtight and watertight. We therefore recommend latex gloves for the following sectors: government authorities, education, hospitals, other medicine, industry, close-contact services, the food industry and occupational safety. If you have any questions about the potential uses of these latex gloves or are not sure if they are the right solution for your requirements, please feel free to get in touch with us via the contact form!The benefits of latex in protecting the skin
- Latex is a natural product of rubber trees; it is highly supple and durable.
- The tactile sensitivity is excellent.
- It also offers protection against numerous acids and alkalis.
Latex gloves: the disadvantages of latex
- Crop yields and commodity prices have an immediate impact on the market price of latex, which can be inconsistent and unstable as a result.
- If worn often, latex is more likely to cause allergies because of the water-soluble proteins it contains. Latex disposable gloves are not recommended for people who have allergies. The powder on powdered latex gloves is also a risk because it can irritate the mucous membranes of the respiratory system.
- Latex protective gloves and finger cots are not suitable for handling oils or solvents, as these substances can quickly permeate the material.
