Types of Gloves Available
Choosing the right type of PPE gloves depends on your work environment and specific needs. Here’s are the different types of disposable gloves available at Aussie Pharma Direct:
Nitrile disposable gloves: Made from synthetic rubber, nitrile gloves are known for their superior resistance to chemicals, punctures, and allergens, making them ideal for medical, industrial, and food-handling environments. They are often used as medical gloves and examination gloves because of their durability and latex-free nature, which reduces the risk of allergic reactions.
Latex gloves: Latex gloves offer excellent elasticity and fit, making them a popular choice for surgical gloves and medical procedures. They provide strong barrier protection and are commonly used in healthcare settings. However, they may cause allergic reactions in some individuals, so latex-free gloves like nitrile are often recommended for those with sensitivities.
Vinyl gloves: Vinyl gloves are made from PVC and are a cost-effective option for short-term tasks where high durability and puncture resistance are not required. They are a great choice for food handling and cleaning tasks but are less durable than nitrile or latex gloves. They are also powder-free, reducing the risk of contamination.
Polyethylene gloves: These lightweight, disposable gloves are commonly used in food service and light cleaning tasks. While they offer basic protection, they are not suitable for medical or high-risk environments due to their lack of resistance to chemicals and punctures.

and offer a snug fit, but they can cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Vinyl gloves are a cost-effective option for low-risk tasks but offer less durability than nitrile and latex.

Are PPE gloves reusable or disposable?
Most PPE gloves, including nitrile, latex, and vinyl gloves, are designed to be disposable and should be discarded after a single use to prevent contamination. Reusing disposable gloves can compromise their integrity and effectiveness.
Can I use medical gloves for food handling?
While medical gloves, such as nitrile or latex gloves, can technically be used for food handling, it’s important to ensure they are food-safe and HACCP certified. Vinyl gloves are commonly used in food preparation as they offer basic protection and are cost-effective.
Are latex gloves safe for everyone?
Latex gloves can cause allergic reactions in some individuals due to the proteins in natural rubber latex. If you or your staff have latex allergies, it's best to opt for latex-free gloves such as nitrile or vinyl gloves.
What are powder-free gloves, and when should I use them?
Powder-free gloves are gloves that do not contain powder on the inside. In the past, gloves were often powdered with cornstarch or other lubricating powders to make them easier to put on and take off. However, this powder can sometimes cause irritation or allergic reactions.
The powder in gloves was originally used to absorb moisture and improve the donning process, but powder-free gloves have become the standard in many industries because they eliminate the risk of powder contamination. These gloves are ideal for situations where cleanliness and hygiene are critical, such as in medical or food handling settings.
If you need gloves that are gentle on the skin and prevent the spread of powder particles, powder-free gloves are the better option. They are commonly available in nitrile, vinyl, and latex-free varieties.
