Meditrade Nitrile StellarGrip Black Protective Gloves, box of 500 (10 boxes of 50), PPE Class III, M, 1292M

Whether in the workshop or on a maintenance call-out, any light-coloured glove will soon show signs of oil and dirt. Meditrade Nitril StellarGrip protective gloves in black are industrial protective gloves with a diamond-patterned texture on both sides for a secure grip; they are powder-free and available in cartons of 500 in sizes S to XXL.

Black: a practical colour for work

The dark colour is no coincidence in commercial use: traces of oil, grease and dirt are much less noticeable on black than on light-coloured examination gloves, such as those commonly used in laboratories or medical practices. For tasks where the glove regularly comes into contact with dirt anyway, this is a purely practical advantage, without compromising the protective function itself.

Diamond pattern for a secure grip

The surface features a diamond pattern on both sides. This improves grip when handling oily or slippery workpieces, for example, during assembly, on machinery or when handling metal parts, and works regardless of which side of the glove is currently being used. Particularly for tasks where the glove is frequently turned over or used at varying grip angles, the double-sided texture saves the need for extra hand movements.

Thickness designed for everyday workshop use

With a thickness of at least 0.18 mm on the palm and fingertips, and at least 0.10 mm on the cuff, the StellarGrip is significantly more robust than a thin disposable examination glove. Weighing 8.5 g (± 0.5 g) per glove and with a force at break of 11 N both before and after artificial ageing, it is designed for use several times a day in workshops, warehouses or on assembly lines without making the handling of small parts unnecessarily difficult.

Significantly thicker than a disposable examination glove

By way of comparison: a standard nitrile examination glove used in laboratories is usually around 0.07 to 0.12 mm thick. With a thickness of at least 0.18 mm on the palm and fingertips, the StellarGrip is designed to be significantly sturdier, a deliberate distinction between a disposable medical glove intended for brief contact tasks and an industrial protective glove designed to withstand mechanical stress over extended periods.

PPE Category III for industrial use

The StellarGrip is classified as Category III Personal Protective Equipment in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and complies with EN 374 and EN ISO 21420. It is manufactured under a quality management system certified according to EN ISO 13485:2016. The glove is positioned as an industrial protective glove; there is no documentation classifying this product as a medical device, which is generally not required for its intended industrial use.

Sizes from S to XXL

Unlike the examination gloves in the rest of the Meditrade range, which usually start at XS, the StellarGrip covers sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL. This meets the wider range of size requirements in industrial settings, where larger hand circumferences are more common than in laboratories or medical practices. Each size has its own manufacturer’s item number and its own EAN, so that individual sizes can be reordered as required.

Typical applications

As a robust nitrile protective glove with a diamond pattern, the StellarGrip Black is suitable for, amongst other things:

• Workshop and automotive work involving regular contact with oil and grease
• Warehouse, logistics and assembly work involving increased wear and tear on the gloves
• Maintenance and repair work where dark soiling is virtually unavoidable
• Industrial and commercial enterprises requiring a more robust nitrile glove than disposable examination gloves

For example, in a vehicle workshop, the same glove can be worn for an entire shift without visible soiling forcing a premature change, an advantage over light-coloured disposable gloves, which look unsightly after only a short time. Even when inspecting oily or dusty components on receipt, handling remains secure thanks to the diamond pattern, even when the glove surface itself is already soiled.

Colour options in the StellarGrip range

Those who prefer a highly visible glove colour for tasks with increased safety requirements will find the identical design in StellarGrip Orange. Both colours share the same material, diamond pattern and thickness; they differ only in colour. The complete nitrile range can be browsed in the Nitrile Gloves category.
