Ansell Micro-Touch® NitraFree™ Nitrile Pink Exam Gloves 100/Box
Ansell Micro-Touch NitraFree Nitrile Exam Gloves
Accelerator-Free Low Dermatitis Sourcing and Premium 6.3 mil Cushioned Textured Fingertips for High-Tactile Sensitivity in Critical Oncology Care.
Ansell Micro-Touch® NitraFree™ Nitrile Exam Gloves deliver an elite, chemically advanced personal protective barrier solution meticulously engineered to protect frontline healthcare workers from severe skin allergies while providing certified protection during specialized clinical tasks. Standard examination gloves frequently depend on sulfur-based vulcanization accelerators that trap chemical residues on the hands, causing Type IV allergic contact dermatitis, painful skin cracking, and ongoing workplace discomfort. This specialized medical glove features an accelerator-free formulation that eliminates these common irritants entirely, guarding your skin health and clinical dignity.
Formulated 100% free from natural rubber latex proteins and synthetic chemical accelerators, these clear pink gloves deliver exceptional protection against specialized medical solutions. The durable, heavy-duty build features an 8.0 mil maximum fingertip profile with a 6.3 mil typical thickness, giving you robust tear resistance while preserving vital tactile feedback. Fully evaluated under strict ASTM guidelines to resist permeation against a target spectrum of 8 distinct chemotherapy drugs, this ambidextrous, 9.44-inch standard-cuff glove includes micro-textured fingertips for an unyielding grip in wet or dry states. Provided in convenient 100-count dispenser boxes, this series offers complete fluid defense for outpatient nursing lines, laboratory staff, and diagnostic technicians.
Key Features & Benefits
- Low Dermatitis Potential Engineering: Manufactured entirely without sulfur-based accelerators like thiurams, carbamates, or thiazoles to prevent Type IV occupational contact allergies.
- Chemotherapy Permeation Tested: Evaluated under ASTM standards for reliable safety barriers against 8 common oncology drugs, including Paclitaxel, Cyclophosphamide, and Vincristine Sulfate.
- Premium 6.3 mil Thick Fingertips: Heavy-duty nitrile composition guards against micro-punctures and accidental tearing while maintaining clear tactile feedback during physical checkups.
- Micro-Textured Fingertip Control: Outfitted with distinct texturing across the tips, maximizing grip stability and preventing slips when managing fine diagnostic tools.
- 100% Natural Rubber Latex-Free: Built from synthetic nitrile molecules to eliminate Type I rubber allergen risks for sensitive clinical staff and patients.
- Clean Powder-Free Sourcing: Processed thoroughly without dry cornstarch powder to guard against respiratory allergies and localized skin irritation.
- Reinforced Beaded Wrist Cuff: Rolled edge profile provides structural strength during donning, preventing roll-down and anchoring the glove securely over your gown sleeves.
Equipment Specialist Insight: Most chemo-rated examination gloves achieve chemical resistance by thickening the material, which unfortunately lowers tactile feedback and increases hand fatigue. Ansell’s Micro-Touch NitraFree avoids this trade-off by removing sulfur accelerators entirely, allowing the nitrile matrix to conform naturally to the hand's heat. This creates a flexible fit that moves comfortably with you over long care shifts, all while sporting a distinctive pink color that supports breast cancer awareness initiatives.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which specific chemotherapy drugs are these NitraFree gloves tested to resist?
This model is officially tested and evaluated to resist breakthrough against 8 specific chemotherapy compounds: Vincristine Sulfate, Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan), Doxorubicin Hydrochloride, 5-Fluorouracil, Methotrexate, Etoposide (Toposar), Paclitaxel (Taxol), and Thiotepa. Always review specific drug labels or SDS sheets for appropriate protection boundaries prior to clinical use.
What does "Low Dermatitis Potential" mean for healthcare professionals with chronic skin rash problems?
Standard nitrile gloves utilize sulfur-based chemical accelerators to speed up curing during production. These accelerators can trigger painful Type IV delayed skin allergies. Ansell removes these accelerators completely, providing an ideal protective glove for clinicians dealing with persistent hand rashes, eczema, or chemical sensitivities.
Are these pink nitrile gloves safe for use in direct sterile surgical or deep wound environments?
No. These gloves are manufactured as non-sterile medical examination tools and are optimized for diagnostic checkups, general patient handling, oncology care, and non-hazardous laboratory routines. They are not intended for use as sterile surgical barriers during invasive medical procedures.
