Latex Gloves
Latex examination gloves are used in exam rooms, labs, and day-to-day patient care because natural rubber latex can provide a close fit, strong stretch, and fingertip feel for routine tasks.

Latex examination gloves are used in exam rooms, labs, and day-to-day patient care because natural rubber latex can provide a close fit, strong stretch, and fingertip feel for routine tasks. This category includes powder-free and powdered options, plus textured finishes such as fingertip-textured, palm-textured, and micro-textured surfaces that help maintain grip when handling supplies. Several styles also use beaded cuffs and polymer coatings to support smoother donning and more consistent cuff hold.
Thickness options include ranges from lighter gloves for higher dexterity to heavier gloves for higher-contact work. Available thickness filters include 2.8 mil, 4 mil, 4.3 mil, 5 mil, 6.7 mil, 10 mil, and 13 mil. Thicker choices are commonly used for tasks that involve more contact, more friction, or more cleanup, while lighter options can be preferred for tasks that require more fingertip feel.
This section also includes non-sterile exam gloves, sterile surgical gloves, and latex finger cots for targeted coverage. Latex can trigger allergic reactions for some patients and caregivers. In those settings, nitrile or vinyl may be a better alternative within the broader exam glove selections.
Used for:
- Patient exams and basic care
- Cleaning and sanitation tasks
