Confiderm 6.5CX Nitrile Exam Gloves - Powder-Free Chemo-Tested Extended Cuff (Blue, 12 Inch)

Premium Nitrile Exam Gloves with Extended Cuff Protection for Chemotherapy Drug Handling and Clinical Procedures

These professional-grade non-sterile nitrile examination gloves deliver superior barrier protection, enhanced chemical resistance, and exceptional tactile sensitivity for healthcare professionals working with chemotherapy drugs, hazardous medications, and demanding clinical applications. Engineered with extra thickness, extended 12-inch cuff length, and textured fingertips, these powder-free gloves provide the advanced protection and dexterity required in oncology departments, infusion centers, hospital pharmacies, compounding facilities, and any healthcare environment where exposure to cytotoxic agents and aggressive chemicals is a concern.

Chemo-Tested Nitrile Construction for Maximum Chemical Resistance

Manufactured from premium nitrile synthetic rubber, these examination gloves have been rigorously tested against chemotherapy drug permeation to ensure reliable barrier protection during preparation, administration, and cleanup of cytotoxic medications. The advanced nitrile formulation provides superior resistance to a broad spectrum of hazardous drugs, aggressive chemicals, oils, solvents, and biological fluids compared to latex or vinyl alternatives. With a fingertip thickness of 0.14mm (5.3 mil), these gloves offer enhanced puncture resistance and durability while maintaining the flexibility and tactile sensitivity essential for precise medication handling, IV insertion, and delicate clinical procedures.

Extended 12-Inch Cuff for Comprehensive Forearm Protection

The extended cuff design provides 12 inches of total glove length, delivering critical forearm coverage that standard examination gloves cannot match. This extended protection is particularly vital when reaching into biological safety cabinets during chemotherapy compounding, handling hazardous waste containers, performing extended procedures, or any situation where splashing, dripping, or contact with contaminated surfaces could expose unprotected skin. The beaded cuff design reinforces the glove opening, preventing rollback during donning and use while creating a secure seal that minimizes the risk of fluids running down the forearm and under the glove barrier.

Powder-Free and Latex-Free for Enhanced Safety

These gloves are manufactured completely powder-free, eliminating the risks associated with cornstarch powder including respiratory irritation, allergic reactions, contamination of sterile fields, and interference with medication preparation. The powder-free interior also reduces the potential for powder particles to bind with chemotherapy drugs and create airborne contamination during glove removal. Critically, these gloves are not made with natural rubber latex, making them safe for healthcare workers and patients with Type I latex allergies or sensitivities. This latex-free construction prevents potentially serious allergic reactions while maintaining the superior barrier properties and chemical resistance that nitrile materials provide.

Textured Fingertips for Secure Instrument Control

The strategically textured fingertip surface enhances grip security on instruments, syringes, vials, and medical devices, even when wet or handling slippery materials. This micro-textured pattern improves tactile sensitivity and control during critical tasks such as needle manipulation, ampule opening, syringe preparation, IV catheter insertion, and precise medication dosing. The smooth palm and back-of-hand surfaces facilitate easy donning while the textured fingertips provide the enhanced grip exactly where it's needed most during clinical procedures.

Ambidextrous Design for Operational Efficiency

The fully ambidextrous construction allows these gloves to fit comfortably on either hand, streamlining inventory management, reducing waste from incorrect hand selection, and accelerating glove changes during time-sensitive procedures. This universal fit design is particularly valuable in emergency situations, high-volume clinical environments, and any setting where rapid glove deployment is essential for maintaining workflow efficiency and patient safety.
