Description
SafeTouch Non-Latex (PVC) Examination Gloves are powder-free polyvinyl chloride (PVC) alternatives to latex gloves. They are available in a pale yellow color in four sizes: small, medium, large and X-large. The ambidextrous glove has a cuff with a rolled edge long enough to cover one’s wrist. They are packaged 100 gloves to a box. Thirteen consultants and staff members evaluated SafeTouch Non- Latex (PVC) Examination Gloves over a three-month period.
Product Features
SafeTouch Non-Latex (PVC) Examination Gloves are easy to remove from the box. The gloves are easy to put on and take off and do not discolor during use. Consultants liked the thickness of the gloves because they did not tear easily, but some commented that the tactile sense was decreased. The sizing was rated fair – some found the cuff too loose and the fingers too short. The gloves are comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. Ninety percent of consultants would recommend as well as switch to SafeTouch Non-Latex (PVC) Examination Gloves.
