Latex Gloves

Buyer’s Guide to Choosing Disposable Latex Gloves

Disposable latex gloves provide a close fit, flexibility and tactile sensitivity for cleaning, healthcare, food preparation and other tasks requiring precise hand movement. Insinc’s range includes powder-free, examination-grade and extra-thick heavy-duty latex gloves in sizes from extra-small to extra-large.

Products are available in boxes of 100, cartons of 500 or 1,000 gloves and bulk pallet quantities, with mixed-size pallet orders available for larger workplaces.

Powdered or Powder-Free Latex Gloves?

Powder-free latex gloves are suitable for workplaces seeking to minimise loose glove powder and are widely available across the range. Lightly powdered gloves can be easier to put on, but availability is limited and some listed products are obsolete.

For demanding cleaning or industrial tasks, extra-thick latex gloves may provide greater durability than standard examination gloves. Always check the glove specifications and approved applications before use.

Are Latex Gloves Suitable for Everyone?

No. Natural rubber latex can cause allergic reactions or skin sensitivity in some users. Workplaces should provide a suitable latex-free alternative, such as nitrile gloves, where allergies are known or possible.

Choose the correct size for a secure fit without restricting movement. Replace disposable gloves whenever they become torn, contaminated or after changing tasks, and remember that gloves do not replace proper handwashing.
