Professional hand protection
Explore Polyco Healthline disposable, examination, sterile surgical and specialist gloves. Compare nitrile, latex, vinyl, polythene, accelerator-free, long-cuff and cleanroom options using recognised product references.
Material is an important starting point, but it is not the complete specification. Confirm the required size, cuff length, sterility, texture, powder status, medical or PPE classification and resistance data for the task before ordering.
A widely selected synthetic option offering strength, puncture resistance and dependable dexterity. The collection includes blue, black, green, orange, pink and white nitrile gloves, with standard, heavy-duty, long-cuff and accelerator-free choices.
Examples: FN100, GL895, GN01, GN16, GL201Latex gloves are valued for their fit, flexibility and tactile feel. Powder-free, powdered, examination and sterile surgical options are available, but latex sensitivity and workplace policy must be considered before selection.
Examples: GD05, GL888, GN31, GS87, INTW10A cost-conscious synthetic choice commonly used for suitable short-duration hygiene, care, cleaning and food-handling tasks. Vinyl is generally less elastic than nitrile or latex and should be matched carefully to the risk involved.
Examples: GD09, GD13, GN63, GN65, NU201Lightweight, loose-fitting disposable gloves intended for suitable low-risk, short-duration tasks where frequent changes are required. Available in blue or clear options for hygiene and selected food-handling environments.
Examples: GD51 and GD52Individually packed sterile examination and surgical glove options include latex, nitrile, co-polymer, polyisoprene and other synthetic materials. Select only against the approved clinical and procedural specification.
Examples: GS641, GS690, GSSYN, INTW82E, SNAExtended-cuff products offer additional wrist or forearm coverage, while cleanroom gloves support controlled-environment contamination requirements. Check the cuff length, sterility and cleanroom specification for each product.
Examples: EGN08, GL891 and GN34MPLNarrow the range using the environment, wearer requirements and the level of protection or contamination control needed.
Medical examination ranges include nitrile, latex, vinyl and sterile options in multiple sizes, colours and cuff lengths.
Choose against chemical handling, biological risk, dexterity, cuff coverage and contamination-control requirements.
Heavy-duty, textured and high-visibility nitrile options support suitable engineering, automotive and technical tasks.
Colour-coded vinyl, nitrile and lightweight polythene choices help support task separation and frequent glove changes.
Selected nitrile and synthetic surgical gloves are manufactured without specified chemical accelerators to support sensitive users.
Single, double and triple glove-box holders support organised dispensing at clinical, laboratory and workplace stations.
Use this as an initial buying guide, then verify the individual product specification and risk assessment.
| Requirement | Options to review | Important check |
|---|---|---|
| Latex-free | Nitrile, vinyl, polythene, polyisoprene and selected synthetic gloves | Confirm the exact product declaration and any wider allergy requirements. |
| Extended coverage | Long-cuff nitrile and specialist cleanroom products | Verify glove and cuff length against the required coverage. |
| Sterile procedure | Sterile examination or hand-specific surgical gloves | Confirm sterility, medical classification, packaging and intended use. |
| Chemical handling | Task-appropriate nitrile or specialist glove | Never select by material alone; check permeation, degradation and breakthrough data. |
| Low-risk hygiene task | Vinyl, polythene or suitable light-duty nitrile | Confirm food-contact, medical or PPE suitability where applicable. |
This table is general guidance only. A glove suitable for one substance, procedure or workplace may not be suitable for another.
Before use, confirm the manufacturer data sheet, declaration of conformity, applicable standards, size, AQL, sterility, resistance data and intended use. Disposable gloves do not provide unlimited protection, and chemical compatibility must be assessed against the actual substance and exposure conditions.
Nitrile is a synthetic rubber and nitrile gloves are generally selected as a latex-free alternative. Always confirm the individual product documentation if latex sensitivity or workplace controls are a concern.
Nitrile is a strong synthetic option available in many specialist formats. Natural rubber latex offers excellent fit and tactile feel but can present allergy concerns. Vinyl is a less elastic, cost-conscious option commonly used for suitable low-risk and short-duration tasks.
No. The collection includes medical examination gloves, sterile surgical gloves and products intended for industrial, food, hygiene or general-purpose use. Check the classification and intended use on the individual product page before purchasing.
Some gloves are manufactured without specified chemical accelerators commonly used during glove production. These options can be useful where accelerator-related sensitivity is a concern, but accelerator-free does not automatically mean latex-free; verify both requirements separately.
No. Chemical performance differs by glove formulation, thickness, substance, concentration, temperature and exposure time. Review the product-specific chemical-resistance information and complete an appropriate workplace risk assessment.
