ASP Medical’s Nitrile Exam Gloves are of high tensile strength and provide excellent barrier protection while still offering a comfortable fit, feel and stretch. These gloves have superb abrasion resistance and resistance to solvents, oil and grease. Our Nitrile Exam Gloves are both Powder-free and Latex-free. They are also non-sterile and ambidextrous. Our gloves feature a beaded cuff for added strength and ease in donning, plus a textured fingertip for improved grip.
Nitrile gloves are considered to be one of the best materials for disposable gloves, as they effectively protect against most chemicals and infectious agents. ASP Medical’s Nitrile Exam Gloves allow the wearer to handle tools with controlled precision thanks to the textured fingertips and can be used in a variety of medical situations and settings. The material used to make these gloves is thick enough to provide your staff with adequate protection, yet lightweight and stretchy enough for pleasant wear.
During the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) shortage when the pandemic hit, gloves were among one of the items that were very hard to come by. While the availability of PPE has improved since 2020, data from Premier Inc. reveals that gloves still remain in short supply and availability challenges may even continue into 2023.
According to Premier’s data, the global demand for nitrile exam gloves exceeds the current production capacity by nearly 40%. This ongoing shortage stems from a number of reasons, including raw material scarcity, port closures and delays, and a two-fold increase in gloves usage since last June.
For many years in healthcare, there has been a massive push to standardize, reduce vendors, and partner closely with a distribution company. This trend has helped to drive down costs, strengthens key partnerships, and often works well for the facility. In times of crisis, however, the risks inherent to this model become apparent. With worldwide shortages of supplies, rigid strictness in the allocation of goods and product hoarding, the single-sourcing risk is at the highest, leaving many with vastly increased prices or no supply at all.
