Microflex LifeStar EC Nitrile Exam Gloves, XL
Microflex LifeStar EC Nitrile Exam Gloves — X-Large, Extended Cuff
Overview
The Microflex LifeStar EC are high-risk nitrile exam gloves built for first responders and healthcare professionals who need serious protection. Their standout feature is a dual-layer, dual-color design — a white exterior over a blue interior — that delivers two layers of defense and makes any breach easy to spot. They're tested against fentanyl and gastric acid (vomit), with no permeation for up to 240 minutes, meeting NIOSH recommendations for fentanyl and its analogues — protection that matters in overdose and hazardous-exposure situations.
Beyond the barrier, they're made to work in: textured fingertips and non-stick, non-foaming properties give a confident grip on equipment, bandages, and tape, while an extended cuff (about 11" glove length) adds coverage at the wrist and forearm. They're powder-free, not made with natural rubber latex, and manufactured without accelerators to reduce both Type I and Type IV allergy risks, with a chlorinated interior for easy donning. NFPA 1999 certified with a low 0.65 AQL. This listing is X-Large, available by the box of 100 or the case of 1000.

These aren't standard exam gloves — the LifeStar EC is a high-risk, first-responder glove, and the dual-layer white-over-blue construction is the giveaway: two layers mean more durability, and because the colors contrast, any tear shows up instantly. The headline is fentanyl protection — independently tested to block fentanyl and vomit for up to 240 minutes, meeting NIOSH guidance — which is why they're a staple for EMS, law enforcement, and anyone working overdose scenarios or handling hazardous substances. The extended cuff and textured grip make them practical for real work, and being powder-free, latex-free, and accelerator-free covers both major allergy types. For everyday, lower-risk tasks a standard nitrile glove is more economical; reach for the LifeStar EC when the protection level actually matters. The box of 100 suits a single station; the case of 1000 (10 boxes) is the way to stock up.

What makes these "high-risk" and fentanyl-tested?
The dual-layer nitrile construction and testing against fentanyl and gastric acid — no permeation for up to 240 minutes, meeting NIOSH recommendations — make them suited to overdose response and hazardous exposure, beyond what a standard exam glove offers.
What do the extended cuff and dual color do?
The extended cuff (about 11" glove length) adds coverage at the wrist and forearm, and the white-over-blue dual color means any tear or breach shows up instantly — a real safety advantage in the field.
