Disposable Vinyl Medical Gloves
Whether you own a business or work in food service, health care, dental care, laboratory service, or in-home care services, vinyl gloves are an integral part of protecting yourself and others from illness.
Features of Vinyl Gloves
Vinyl gloves are thin and clear, which allows the wearer to easily move their fingers in order to do fine tasks, such as placing a slice of cheese on a sandwich. Their tactile benefits are one of the top reasons why people prefer vinyl gloves. At ScripHessco, they are available in powder-free and powdered options.
Why is Vinyl a Good Alternative to Latex or Nitrile?
When you have to wear exam gloves all day, you may develop a latex allergy, while others have latex allergies despite never having worked in a job that requires them to wear latex gloves on a regular basis. Vinyl gloves are a great latex-free option for people who have a latex allergy. Vinyl gloves are also less expensive than latex gloves, so you can save money by choosing this type of personal protection.
Differences Between Vinyl, Nitrile and Latex Gloves
Vinyl gloves are made of synthetic materials. In health care settings where there are many chemicals in use, they offer enhanced protection. Vinyl is softer and more pliable than latex or nitrile. They also have a looser, more comfortable fit and are designed for low-risk situations, such as giving someone a cup of water or delivering a meal. Latex and nitrile gloves, on the other hand, have a tight fit and are accepted for use in high-risk activities, such as testing for COVID-19. Vinyl can be processed into a thinner material than latex or nitrile, so the gloves do not feel as heavy or cause as much sweating.
