Examination Gloves

Need exam gloves, but have latex allergies? No problem. Parthenon has the exam glove for you. We’ve added several options for you to make a personalized decision. They include latex, vinyl, and nitrile based gloves. Represented by different manufacturers, they each address situations that can arise in the clinical or personal setting. It is important to know your examination gloves. Examination or medical-grade gloves differ from Industrial grade gloves in that they are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and are accepted for use by doctors, dentists, labs, or any other application requiring a specific barrier to blood or infectious agents. These gloves are non-surgical, non-sterile, and are regulated by stringent FDA requirements requiring specific production and quality control standards (detailed in FDA 510(k) Class II Medical Device Listing).
