Exam Gloves
Exam grade gloves provide more barrier resistance to pathogens than non-exam grade gloves, to help minimize the possibility of contamination. The FDA regulates manufacturing of exam/medical grade gloves and inspects facilities and samples shipments.
Nitrile Gloves
- • Synthetic polymer.
- • Excellence resistance to chemicals.
- • Approximately 3 times the puncture resistance of latex or vinyl.
- • Available in blue or black.
- • Darker colors hide stains.
Glove Removal
Proper glove disposal helps ensure that no pathogens from soiled gloves contact hands.
1. With both hands gloved, peel one glove off from top to bottom and hold in the gloved hand
2. With the exposed hand, peel the second glove from the inside, tucking the first glove inside the second
3. Dispose of the entire bundle promptly
4. Remove gloves when they become contaminated, damaged, or before leaving the work area
5. Wash hands thoroughly

Glove Fitting
Proper fitting of gloves is important
• Gloves that are too large may be uncomfortable, hard to use and can be hazardous.
• Gloves that are too small may be binding and cause hand fatigue.
