Description
HALYARD PURPLE NITRILE Examination Gloves are nitrile medical examination gloves designed for healthcare and laboratory environments where dependable barrier protection is important. Made from acrylonitrile butadiene, they are powder-free and natural rubber latex-free, making them suitable for users and patients who need to avoid natural rubber latex exposure. The ambidextrous design supports efficient glove changes, while the distinctive purple colour helps with quick visual identification in clinical settings.
These gloves are intended for higher-risk procedures involving moderate-to-high fluid exposure. Textured fingertips improve grip and tactile control during handling of instruments, specimens, and supplies, supporting accuracy in fast-paced or detail-oriented tasks.
Performance and Protection
This branded glove line is supported by testing to ASTM D6319 for nitrile examination gloves and ASTM F1671 for resistance to viral penetration. It has also undergone ASTM F739 chemical testing and biocompatibility evaluation for systemic toxicity, irritation, and sensitization. In addition, documented testing against chemotherapy drugs and fentanyl has been performed using ASTM D6978 methods, making these gloves relevant for chemotherapy-related tasks where appropriate glove selection is required.
Available Options
HALYARD PURPLE NITRILE Examination Gloves are available in sterile and non-sterile versions to suit different procedural needs. Multiple sizes, including XXL, help support a broader fit range. Line options in 9.5-inch and 12-inch lengths provide flexibility when additional wrist and forearm coverage is preferred.
Typical Use Environments
These gloves are commonly used in ER, ICU, laboratory, oncology, EMS, dental, and cancer-care settings. Their combination of fluid protection, chemical exposure testing, and chemotherapy-related testing makes them appropriate for demanding clinical applications.
