FAQ

How do I know if my nitrile gloves fit right?

Nitrile examination gloves should not be too loose or overstretched. If the gloves are too small, the material will be put under stress and can become less protective. Gloves that are too large can make it hard to achieve optimal dexterity and could be more easily damaged.

How do you avoid contamination when removing nitrile gloves?

When you remove your gloves, use your gloved hand to remove the other glove and then peel away the remaining glove using the inside of the cuff. Dispose of the gloves and thoroughly wash your hands.
