How to Choose Disposable Gloves: Nitrile, Latex or Vinyl?

LATEX GLOVES

Latex gloves are known for their elasticity, snug fit and tactile sensitivity. They provide an excellent barrier against biological contaminants and are commonly used in the medical and dental fields. However, some individuals may be allergic to latex proteins, which limits their use for these individuals.

 

VINYL GLOVES VS NITRILE GLOVES

Vinyl Gloves Nitrile Gloves

Vinyl gloves provide basic protection against contaminants. They are less elastic and tight fitting than nitrile or latex gloves but less expensive.

  • Ideal for short, low-risk tasks.
  • Latex-free, do not cause allergic reactions.

Nitrile gloves are highly resistant to punctures and chemicals. Suitable for people with latex allergies, they offer good elasticity and high tactile sensitivity.

  • Ideal for high-risk environments.
  • Protection against chemicals, solvents and oils.

conseil  Opt for vinyl gloves for short, low-risk tasks where comfort and durability are not top priorities. Vinyl helps avoid allergic reactions to latex and is a more economical option.

 

Powdered or Powder-Free Vinyl Gloves?

  Advantages Disadvantages

POWDERED GLOVES

 
  • Ease of use

The powder makes putting on the gloves easier, which reduces the risk of tearing.

  • Reduced sweating

The powder allows for better absorption of moisture and sweat, making the gloves more comfortable to wear.

  • Effective in fast-paced environments

Ideal for environments where gloves need to be changed frequently.
  • Risks of contamination

The powder can contaminate work surfaces or food, for example.

  • Allergic reactions

Although rare, some people may be sensitive to the powder used.

POWDER-FREE GLOVES
  • Reduced allergies and irritations

Powder-free gloves minimize the risk of allergies and skin irritations.

  • Reduced environmental contamination

No potential powder residue to contaminate clothing, work surfaces or food, for example.
  • Difficult to put on and take off

Without the lubrication of the powder, it can be more difficult to put on and take off the gloves, especially with wet hands.
