What are Latex Gloves?
Latex Gloves are single-use gloves made from natural rubber latex. They are widely used in many industries, including healthcare, food handling, cleaning, and laboratories. It is important to note that some individuals may have latex allergies, which can cause skin irritation or more severe allergic reactions.
These medical-grade latex gloves have undergone rigorous quality control measures and adhere to a stringent AQL≤2.5. They are available in sizes from small to extra large. Latex examination gloves are produced as either powdered or powder-free.
Latex Gloves are manufactured by AdvaCare Pharma, a reputable pharmaceutical company with expertise in global distribution.

Latex
Latex gloves are the most commonly used gloves in many settings. They are made from natural rubber latex, which offers a high level of elasticity and comfort that allows for easy movement and a secure fit.
Latex gloves are suitable for low to medium-risk procedures and should not be used for invasive examinations.
Powdered
Powdered gloves are lined with cornstarch powder on the inside of the glove, which helps reduce friction and makes the gloves easier to put on and take off. The powder also absorbs moisture, helping to keep hands dry during extended periods of time.
Powdered gloves are less suitable for individuals with sensitive skin or allergies. Donning and doffing the gloves may also increase the possibility of powder contamination, making them unsuitable for certain procedures.
Powder-Free
Powder-Free gloves are designed without an inner layer of powder. Powder-free interiors greatly reduce the risk of allergic reactions and remove the potential for powder contamination.
Although they may require a little more effort to don and doff compared to powdered gloves, powder-free gloves offer exceptional versatility and are considered more eco-friendly.
Micro-Rough
Micro-Rough latex gloves have micro-textured fingertips and a matte finish for increased grip control without the loss of tactile sensitivity. The micro-rough texture gives a non-slip surface which offers a more reliable grip even under wet or oily conditions.
Micro-rough exam gloves' improved handling and dexterity allow for more precise and secure gripping of objects, which is suitable for tasks where precision and grip are critical, such as medical procedures and laboratory work.
Smooth
Smooth latex gloves feature a uniform glove material with a consistent texture that is the same across the entire surface of the hand. They do not have textured fingertips.
Smooth latex exam gloves provide a comfortable fit and are easy to put on and take off. They are often used for tasks in both medical and non-medical applications.
