01144-80 Latex gloves, 8, white, (latex paint)
We generally recommend white and blue latex protective gloves for hospitals and other medicine. For the food industry, we particularly recommend blue, food-grade latex protective gloves, as whole latex protective gloves or sections of latex protective gloves can be found quickly and without much effort.
The properties of latex disposable gloves
Latex protective 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 harvested straight from rubber trees. Thanks to its exceptional physical properties and comfortable fit, there is currently no true replacement for natural latex. Consequently, the primary fields of use for disposable latex gloves include clinics and health care facilities, doctors' or dentists' surgeries and care homes, as well as food production and processing facilities (to a lesser extent, as cross-contamination can occur; nitrile is preferred here). Latex is a cost-effective alternative to vinyl or nitrile.Latex gloves in material thickness: "strong"
This strong product has a material thickness of a minimum of 0.16 mm, meaning that these disposable gloves are significantly more resistant to tearing and less puncture-prone than ultra-thin, thin or medium-strength single-use gloves or finger cots made of similar material. As a result, they can endure even the most demanding requirements and jobs.Quality of the latex protective gloves
These latex protective gloves from the Med-Comfort brand are "premium" quality. AMPri only offers products of either a very high basic standard of quality, a more upscale "classic" quality or superior "premium" quality. The powder-free, sterile, disposable glove is hand specific (L/R) (can be worn on the left or the right 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 excellent non-slip properties and are an ideal choice if you need to work with slippery tools or materials. "Extra grip" is a special attribute of these latex protective gloves. The Latex disposable gloves are also suitable for protecting against risks that can lead to extremely severe consequences, such as death or permanent harm to health. Accordingly, they are classified as category III PPE under the EU PPE Regulation. Additionally, the latex protective gloves have a CE marking labelling them as a class IIa medical device. Class IIa devices are usually invasive, meaning that they are inserted into the human body. However, this insertion is limited to natural bodily orifices, and the medical products do not normally pose a risk to patients. Of course, latex protective gloves can be used as part of strictly sterile equipment, as they are sterile themselves. The AQL (acceptable quality limit) is the highest permitted number of defective (leaky) individual samples in a batch or lot (performance level/AQL). For disposable medical gloves, an AQL level for impermeability that does not exceed 1.5 is stipulated by the EN 455-1 standard - which the Latex disposable gloves fulfil precisely. Protection from microorganisms is a main feature of these single-use gloves. The latex disposable gloves protect against viruses, bacteria and fungi. The latex disposable gloves provide chemical protection (chemical protection type C) 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. In addition, the latex disposable gloves are airtight and watertight. We therefore recommend latex protective gloves for the following sectors: hospitals and other medicine. If you have any questions about the possible applications of these latex protective gloves or are wondering if they are right for your needs, please do not hesitate to contact us via the contact form!The advantages of latex
- Latex is a natural product of rubber trees; it is highly elastic and hard-wearing.
- Latex is pleasant to wear and has very little impact on tactile sensitivity.
- It also provides protection against numerous acids and alkalis.
The disadvantages of latex in protecting the hands
- Harvest yields and raw material prices have an immediate impact on the market price of latex, which can be variable and volatile as a result.
- Latex disposable gloves are known as a potential trigger for allergy sufferers because they contain water-soluble proteins that might irritate the mucous membranes of the respiratory system, especially in the case of powdered disposable gloves or finger cots.
- Oils and solvents can quickly permeate latex gloves and finger cots, so latex is not approved for handling such substances.
