Description
Dental gloves are single-use, medical-grade examination gloves designed to protect patients and clinicians during dental procedures. They form a barrier against saliva, blood, aerosols, and common chemicals used chairside, helping to reduce cross-contamination and maintain a hygienic operatory. Available in materials such as nitrile, latex, and vinyl, these gloves are ambidextrous and sized to fit a wide range of hands for all-day comfort.
Key features and benefits
• Powder-free design to minimize residue and irritation
• Textured fingertips for confident wet-grip on instruments and burs
• Beaded cuff that makes donning easier and helps prevent roll-down
• Soft, elastic fit for tactile sensitivity during scaling, polishing, and restorative work
• Non-sterile options for routine exams; sterile pairs for minor surgical procedures
• Color choices that help quickly identify sizes and reduce cross-mixing in busy clinics
Typical uses and applications
• Routine examinations, prophylaxis, and fluoride treatments
• Endodontic, orthodontic, and restorative procedures
• Instrument reprocessing, disinfection, and operatory turnover
• Lab work, model handling, and impression taking
• Suitable for dental offices, hygiene schools, mobile clinics, and community programs
How it compares
• Nitrile: strong puncture resistance and chemical splash protection with excellent tactile feel; ideal for those with latex sensitivities.
• Latex: naturally elastic for superior fit and dexterity, preferred by many for fine control.
• Vinyl: economical for short, low-risk tasks and frequent glove changes.
Care and usage tips
Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, select the correct size for a snug fit without strain, and change gloves between patients and tasks. Dispose of used gloves according to local infection-prevention guidelines.
