Kimberly-Clark Nitrile Exam Gloves Medium Powder Free 10 Boxes with 100 Gloves Each

Kimtech™ Purple Nitrile™ Exam Gloves, Powder-Free (55082) – Case of 10 Boxes

The Kimtech™ Purple Nitrile™ (55082) is a premier, medical-grade examination glove engineered to deliver robust barrier protection and superior chemical splash resistance in demanding laboratory, life science, and clinical environments. Manufactured from a high-quality synthetic nitrile polymer matrix, these gloves are completely free of natural rubber latex proteins, eliminating the risk of Type I latex-induced hypersensitivity reactions. The distinctive purple color provides instant visual verification of premium protection within controlled workspaces. Supplied as a commercial case of 10 dispenser boxes containing 100 ambidextrous gloves each (1,000 gloves total per case), this powder-free consumable is a cornerstone for personal protection during sample preparation, chemical handling, and analytical testing loops.

Technical Performance & Barrier Integrity

• Chemotherapy Drug Permeation Resilience: Fully validated and cleared for use with chemotherapy drugs in accordance with ASTM D6978. This ensures an advanced, reliable defense barrier for laboratory personnel handling aggressive cytotoxic compounds and hazardous chemical reagents.
• Exemplary Quality Level (AQL): Features a low Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) of 1.5 for pinholes, significantly exceeding standard ASTM requirements for barrier integrity, structural uniformity, and freedom from critical defects.
• Enhanced Textured Fingertip Grip: Specially finished with a distinct texturing across the fingertips to optimize tactile sensitivity and microscale responsiveness. This surface modification guarantees a secure, slip-free grip when manipulating delicate pipettes, damp micro-centrifuge tubes, and smooth laboratory glassware.
• Powder-Free Clean Formulation: Undergoes an intensive online chlorination and rinsing process during fabrication to ensure a clean interior wall for seamless donning while minimizing the shedding of particulates into sensitive sample assays.
