AMMEX Blue Nitrile powder Free Exam Gloves has a palm thickness of 4 Mils, plus or minus 1 Mil and finger thickness of 5 Mils, plus or minus 1 Mil and is 9.5" long from the tip of the middle finger to the edge of the beaded wrist cuff, which is 3 mils thick. It is suitable for the healthcare industry and for use in non-surgical medical procedures. Nitrile provides better elasticity than vinyl, better puncture resistance than latex or vinyl, better abrasion resistance than chloroprene, and reduces the likelihood of allergic reaction. The glove is textured on the fingertips, fingers, and palm for improved grip, particularly in wet conditions. This powder-free glove leaves no residue, reducing the risk of contamination compared to a powdered glove, making it suitable for use in electronic components, forensic, and laboratory applications. This ambidextrous glove is blue.
This glove has a minimum tensile strength of 14 megapascals (MPa) before aging and 14 MPa after aging. Tensile strength, measured in MPa, is the amount of force required to rip a glove; the higher the number, the stronger the glove material. This glove has an elongation of 500% before aging and 500% after aging. Elongation measures how much a glove can be stretched before it breaks. It is expressed as a percent of the original length of the glove at the moment of breakage; the higher the percent, the more the glove can stretch. This glove has an Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) of 1, which means that the defect level from a large sample of the gloves will not exceed 1%. AQL is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) quality specification for the defect rate in surgical and exam gloves. The FDA requires an AQL of 1.5 for surgical gloves and 2.5 for exam gloves.
Disposable and limited-use gloves are used in medical, forensic, scientific, food service, and industrial applications. Disposable gloves are commonly made from flexible materials such as latex, nitrile, chloropren
