- Latex provides better elasticity than nitrile, chloroprene, or vinyl, and better puncture resistance than vinyl.
- Fully textured glove is textured on the fingertips, fingers, and palms for improved grip, particularly in wet environments.
- Palm thickness is 5 mils and finger thickness is 6 mils, and standard-length glove is 9.4" long and has a beaded wrist cuff that is 2 mils thick.
- External polymer coating helps prevent tapes and adhesives from sticking to the glove, and interior polymer coating reduces surface friction and allows for putting glove on quickly, particularly in wet environments.
- Powder-free glove leaves no residue, reducing the risk of contamination compared to a powdered glove.
The Aurelia Luminance 2988 latex, powder-free, fully textured
disposable glove has an external surface polymer coating to help
prevent tapes and adhesives from sticking to the glove, and an
internal polymer coating, reducing surface friction and allowing
it to be put on more easily than uncoated, powder-free gloves,
particularly in wet environments. The glove has a palm thickness
of 5 mils and a finger thickness of 6 mils, and is 9.4" long from
the tip of the middle finger to the edge of the beaded wrist
cuff, which is 2 mils thick. Latex provides better elasticity
than nitrile, chloroprene, or vinyl, and better puncture
resistance than vinyl. The glove is textured on the fingertips,
fingers, and palms for improved grip, particularly in wet
environments, compared to gloves with textured fingers. This
powder-free glove leaves no residue, reducing the risk of
contamination compared to a powdered glove. This ambidextrous
white glove is suitable for dental and medical examination
applications.

Tensile strength, measured in MPa, is the a of force
required to rip a glove; the higher the number, the stronger the
glove material. Elongation measures how much a glove can be
stretched before it breaks. It is expressed as a percent of the
original length of the glove at the moment of breakage; the
higher the percent, the more the glove can stretch. AQL is an FDA
quality specification for the defect rate in surgical and exam
gloves. The FDA requires an AQL of 1.5 for surgical gloves and
2.5 for exam gloves.
Disposable and limited-use gloves are used in medical, forensic,
scientific, food service, and industrial applications. Disposable
gloves are commonly made from flexible materials such as latex,
nitrile, chloroprene, and vinyl. While most disposable gloves are
designed for use on either hand, some can be purchased in
hand-specific models. They are offered powdered or powder-free;
silicone or silicone-free; chlorinated or non-chlorinated; coated
or uncoated; with a standard- or extended-length cuff; sterile or
non-sterile; and with textured or smooth fingers, fingertips, and
palms. A glove's abrasion, cut, and puncture resistance are
defined by glove material and thickness, and may be improved with
the use of exterior coatings. Abrasion resistance means the glove
helps protect the hand from contact with rough surfaces. Cut
resistance means the glove helps protect the hand from blades and
sharp instruments. Puncture resistance means the glove helps
protect the hand from objects such as needles.
resistance means the glove helps protect the hand from certain
s, and varies by glove material.
Aurelia Gloves manufactures disposable gloves. The company,
