Healthline GN85 Violet Nitrile Examination Gloves
The Healthline GN85 Violet Nitrile Examination Gloves are tough but supple single-use examination gloves that, due to their formulation, are stronger than similar disposable latex and vinyl examination gloves. The GN85 Gloves contain no accelerators or latex to reduce the risk of skin reactions, making them ideal for users with latex allergy or hypersensitive skin.
Strong Yet Supple
Manufactured from a specially formulated nitrile butadiene polymer, with a beaded cuff for added strength and durability, the GN85 Nitrile Gloves are resilience but soft and flexible. As a result, they provide protection without inhibiting physical movement and remain comfortable even during extended wear.
Textured for Better Grip
The Healthline Examination Gloves features a textured outer surface for enhanced grip. This is especially useful for applications where users require hand protection but need to work with tools and implements.
