Kimberly-Clark Element Nitrile Exam Gloves Large Powder Free 10 Boxes with 250 Gloves Each

Kimtech™ Element™ Nitrile Exam Gloves, Powder-Free (62873) – Case of 10 Boxes

The Kimtech™ Element™ Nitrile Exam Gloves (62873) are high-efficiency, medical-grade protection consumables engineered to optimize workspace efficiency and personal safety in pharmaceutical, life science, and industrial laboratory setups. Fabricated from a thin-gauge synthetic nitrile polymer matrix ( 3.2 mil fingertip thickness), these gloves deliver exceptional tactile dexterity, material softness, and standard chemical splash defense without utilizing natural rubber latex proteins. Designed to reduce packaging waste and shipping costs, the Element™ series features a high-density configuration yielding **250% more gloves per case** compared to traditional 100-count configurations. Supplied as a robust commercial case of 10 innovative dispenser boxes containing 250 ambidextrous gloves each (2,500 gloves total per case), this powder-free line is ideal for high-throughput automated workstations, general lab work, and sample collection routines.

Technical Performance & Smart Space Architecture

• Superior Pinhole Quality Threshold (AQL 1.0): Manufactured to a strict Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) rating of 1.0 for pinholes. This advanced baseline exceeds standard ASTM D5151 medical glove criteria, providing enhanced barrier continuity and liquid resistance.
• Dual-Opening SmartDispense Box Construction: Features an innovative packaging design equipped with two functional openings. The initial, smaller top aperture controls pullout resistance when the box is full to eliminate glove dropping waste; the secondary, wider opening facilitates easy access once the box is half-empty.
• Static Dissipative Functional Profile: Engineered to exhibit static-dissipative performance characteristics in active use conditions. This property helps mitigate electrostatic discharge (ESD) risks when handling sensitive electronics, microscale balances, or volatile powdered reagents.
• Textured Fingertip Tactile Array: Finished with a fine, grain-textured surface modification across the fingertips. This design provides secure wet and dry grip control, preventing slippage when holding micro-pipettes, glass vials, and micro-centrifuge tubes.
