FAQs
How does TracTek® Grip Technology improve handling?
TracTek® Grip Technology features an engineered surface pattern that increases contact with objects while channeling away liquids. This design improves grip on wet or oily surfaces, helping users maintain better control during laboratory procedures, specimen handling, and other precision tasks.
What does an AQL of 1.5 indicate?
An AQL of 1.5 reflects a high-quality standard for pinhole defects in examination gloves. This level exceeds many laboratory requirements, indicating consistent barrier integrity and reliable protection against contaminants, pathogens, and chemicals during routine use.
Are these gloves suitable for chemical exposure?
Natural latex offers effective protection against many common laboratory chemicals and biological hazards. While not intended for all chemical types, the 5.5 mil thickness provides a balance of durability and tactile sensitivity for a wide range of general lab applications.
Do these gloves provide good tactile sensitivity?
Yes, natural latex is known for its elasticity and close fit, delivering excellent tactile feedback. The 5.5 mil thickness is optimized to maintain dexterity while offering tear resistance, allowing users to perform detailed procedures with confidence and comfort.
Are there allergy considerations with these gloves?
Yes, these gloves are made from natural rubber latex, which may cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Facilities should assess user sensitivities before selection and consider nitrile alternatives when latex allergies or sensitivities are a concern.
