Latex gloves

Disposable latex gloves are particularly popular due to their high elasticity and durability. Due to the latex rubber, the latex gloves rarely tear when put on, even if the gloves are pulled very high up on the forearm. Latex has very good protection against bacteria, viruses, alkalis and acids and therefore provides good protection for the hands.

Our latex gloves have good resistance to acids. They are also relatively thick in contrast to nitrile & vinyl gloves and are therefore particularly durable, protecting your hands from sharp objects and other things that could injure the surface of the skin. Another plus point is that they adapt perfectly to the wearer's hand, which means they are often perceived as a second skin.

A big advantage of latex gloves is that you can work tirelessly because they adapt perfectly to the hand and provide particularly good tactile sensitivity. Dentists in particular benefit from disposable gloves made of latex, as they guarantee top grip despite working in the moist area of ​​the mouth.

Latex gloves compared to nitrile & vinyl gloves

We offer you a large selection of different disposable gloves. We focus on latex gloves, nitrile gloves and vinyl gloves, as each individual glove has its own special advantages.

The disposable latex gloves offer the wearer a good barrier to viruses, bacteria and other microorganisms. That's why they are particularly popular in the medical sector - whether with dentists, doctor's offices, clinics, veterinarians or emergency services.

The latex gloves also offer special protection for employees in the medical sector. In doing so, they protect themselves from contact with excrement, various body fluids or blood, but also protect patients from communicable diseases.

However, vinyl gloves are much more suitable for basic care in geriatric and nursing care, as they pull significantly less on the patient's body hair and feel significantly softer on the skin.

Please pay attention to whether your patients have a latex allergy, as latex gloves could trigger allergic reactions.

Latex gloves for hygienic handling in the food industry

When dealing with food, hygienic processing is the most important aspect in order to be able to provide flawless food. This is one reason why wearing disposable gloves is so important in the food industry and catering. When using disposable gloves, the safety and health of the wearer is the top priority.

Disposable gloves prevent skin contamination or small skin flakes from being transferred in contact with food and thus becoming contaminated. The gloves must therefore protect both the wearer and the products from various types of contamination.

Although the disposable gloves made of latex have excellent tear resistance and elasticity and are therefore particularly comfortable to wear, some are only partially suitable for handling oils and fats. Powdered latex gloves are prohibited when handling food.

Latex gloves are suitable for handling fish, shellfish, baked goods and liquid foods. In contrast, nitrile gloves are the only disposable gloves that are food-safe and can therefore be used when handling all foods.

Latex gloves in the dentist's office

The most important thing about the disposable latex gloves - our quality of the gloves! A special feature is the excellent quality and the very good fit on the wearer's hand. Due to the longer wearing time in the dental sector, you should pay attention to excellent quality when purchasing, which we can offer you without exception.

The European Standard 455 (EN 455) is a basic requirement for wearing in the medical sector. We at Altruan.de offer you a particularly large selection of suitable latex gloves that you can use in dentistry without hesitation.

Since latex gloves are relatively thick in contrast to disposable gloves made of nitrile and vinyl, they are correspondingly more durable and therefore have a significant advantage. For this reason, protect the wearer from sharp objects that could injure the surface of the skin. They are also particularly elastic and therefore comfortable to wear.

We offer various disposable latex gloves for sale to the employees and doctors themselves in your dental practice. Try out different brands, sizes and materials to decide which disposable glove offers the best comfort for everyday use.

Latex gloves used with chemicals and cleaning agents

Protect yourself and your hands with the right latex gloves when handling cleaning agents and chemicals. Make sure that the disposable gloves comply with European Standard 374 (EN 374). These guarantee you appropriate protection against chemicals.

Since nitrile gloves have very good resistance to chemicals, we would still recommend that you use disposable gloves made of nitrile when handling chemical agents.

You can see whether the disposable gloves have been certified according to EN 374 by looking at the Erlenmeyer flask on the gloves packaging. The letters under the Erlenmeyer flasks indicate which testing mechanism was used to test the chemical resistance of the gloves.
