Stretchy, lightweight copolymer (latex vinyl) gloves with tapered cuffs provide a snug fit. Ideal for tasks that require a high level of tactile sensitivity.
Medicom medical examination gloves are “single-use” (disposable). They should be changed or disposed of safely after each task. Healthcare personnel should change their gloves for each new patient, when moving from a contaminated part of the body to another part of the body to avoid cross-contamination, as soon as any holes/rips/punctures appear, or every 20 minutes.
