Meditrade Gentle Skin Sensitive Latex Gloves, natural colour, powder-free, 100 pieces, size L, 1221RLT

Product information "Meditrade Gentle Skin Sensitive Latex Gloves, natural colour, powder-free, 100 pieces, size L, 1221RLT"

Meditrade Gentle Skin Sensitive is a low-protein examination glove made from natural latex, designed for situations where tactile sensitivity and a snug fit are particularly important – such as for tasks requiring fine motor skills in laboratories and the care sector. Natural latex offers high elasticity with low mechanical tension, allowing the glove to fit snugly without causing fatigue even during prolonged wear.

Low-protein thanks to a sophisticated processing method

Natural latex naturally contains water-soluble proteins which can trigger allergic reactions in some people. The Sensitive range is therefore treated using a multi-stage washing process (leaching), which largely removes proteins and residues from the manufacturing process – the protein content is less than 30 µg/g. The inside is also chlorinated, making the gloves easy to put on without powder.

Non-slip and tear-resistant

The micro-textured surface ensures a secure grip, both when dry and in contact with liquids such as saline solution or blood. With a tear strength of at least 6.0 N (pre-ageing, in accordance with EN 455-2) and an elongation of at least 650 per cent, the glove is designed for frequent donning and doffing in everyday clinical and laboratory practice; the rolled cuff further reinforces the cuff edge to prevent it from unrolling.

Standards and scope of use

The glove complies with EN 455 (Parts 1–4) for single-use medical gloves; it is certified as a Class I medical device in accordance with EU Regulation 2017/745 and as Category III PPE in accordance with EU Regulation 2016/425, and is chemical-resistant in accordance with EN ISO 374-1 (Type C) and offers protection against viruses in accordance with EN ISO 374-5. With an AQL of 1.5, barrier integrity is ensured to a high standard. Furthermore, they are suitable for food contact in accordance with BfR Recommendation XXI – relevant, for example, for sample preparation in food analysis. As they are made of natural latex, the gloves may swell on contact with non-polar solvents (e.g. oils, fats) and should not be used for this purpose – nitrile gloves are the more suitable choice in such cases.
