Hand Gloves

Surgical latex gloves are sterile, disposable gloves made from natural rubber latex, designed for use in medical and surgical procedures to provide a physical barrier that protects both the patient and healthcare professionals from infectious agents and other contaminants. These gloves are known for their flexibility, dexterity, and tactile sensitivity, offering an excellent fit and grip. They are typically powdered (often with cornstarch) to aid in donning and removal, or they can be powder-free, featuring polymer coatings for easy application.
