• What it is. These blue nitrile gloves are the Ansell Micro-Touch NitraFree, a powder-free nitrile medical exam glove with a berry-blue color and textured fingertips. The glove is 240 mm (9.5 inches) long and has a beaded cuff, a thin, lightweight film, and a 3.9 mil palm and fingers. Ansell recommends it for standard patient examinations. LabPro sells two sizes, M and L, and each SKU includes 2,000 gloves.
• Why it matters. Ansell makes the NitraFree without sulfur-based chemical accelerators, which are linked to Type IV chemical allergies, and the nitrile contains no natural rubber latex, which avoids Type I latex allergy. Ansell calls the result low dermatitis potential. The thin film also supports tactility for longer wear, and the berry-blue color gives contrast while masking blood and other stains on the glove, which helps when gloves are checked by sight.
• How it performs. Ansell lists the glove as tested for use with chemotherapy drugs in accordance with ASTM D6978 and as US FDA cleared, with details on the packaging, and its product text adds fentanyl and gastric acid testing. Freedom from holes is held to a 1.5 AQL. The palm and fingers are both 3.9 mil thick, in a standard 240 mm (9.5 inch) length. Ansell's data sheet describes the formulation as thin and lightweight for excellent tactility while working, with standard cuff length and textured fingertips.
• Materials and packing. The material is berry-blue nitrile with textured fingertips and a powder-free finish. Packing is 200 gloves per box and 10 boxes per case (2,000 gloves), though the X-Large size ships 180 gloves per box, or 1,800 per case. The glove is non-sterile, so choose a sterile glove for procedures that require one. Each LabPro SKU is one size, so order the sizes your team wears.

Applications / Common Uses

• Healthcare examination tasks. Healthcare is the listed application, and Ansell sells the glove as a nitrile medical exam glove.
• Chemotherapy drug handling. Ansell lists the glove as tested for use with chemotherapy drugs, so check the packaging for the permeation details before assigning it to that task.
• Staff prone to Type IV reactions. The accelerator-free formulation avoids the sulfur-based chemicals behind many Type IV chemical allergies.
• Work that needs fingertip feel. The thin, lightweight film gives the tactility Ansell describes for working with small items and instruments.
• Tasks where stains show. The berry-blue color gives contrast and masks blood and other stains, which helps when gloves are checked by sight.
