Gloves
We are a leading supplier of disposable gloves, offering a wide range for many different applications, including vinyl gloves, latex gloves and nitrile gloves (all of which are medical grade)
Disposable gloves are a vital part of infection control and are also important for keeping hands clean and protecting them from chemical damage in tasks such as medical procedures, cleaning, decorating and car maintenance.
Our range of disposable gloves are sourced from quality manufacturers and conform to the highest specifications and standards. Virtually all our gloves are available in three sizes: small, medium and large. Our gloves are also available in powdered and powder free variations.

Which glove do I need? Household gloves are durable rubber gloves suitable for janitorial tasks, while polythene gloves are very good value for general messy household tasks. Polythene gloves are however unsuitable for applications where infection transmission could occur and therefore vinyl, latex and nitrile are recommended. Typically vinyl gloves are used for catering (blue), decorating and cleaning, where as latex and nitrile are the preferred choice by health professionals where greater strength and sensitivity are required. Sterile gloves are an excellent choice for procedures where there is a greater risk of infection and cross contamination. |
Powdered or powder-free? Powdered gloves are cheaper and easier to put on, but the powder can cause an allergic reaction and, in latex gloves, can absorb allergens from the glove and cause them to become airborne. Powder-free gloves, although more expensive, should therefore be the choice for all patient-contact situations or where the wearer has a latex or powder allergy. |
