Expert Insight & Clinical Guidance
Experts emphasise that nitrile provides the strongest combination of protection, flexibility and chemical resistance among common disposable glove materials. Unlike latex, nitrile does not degrade quickly when exposed to oils, hand sanitiser or disinfectants — making it a preferred choice for healthcare professionals, first responders and laboratory workers.
In wound care, nitrile gloves minimise contamination risk when applying dressings, plasters or antiseptic ointments. Their superior tactile sensitivity also makes them suitable for medical examinations and delicate handling of clinical instruments.
