Cardinal Health Flexal Nitrile Exam Gloves

Flexal is Cardinal Health's line of powder-free nitrile exam gloves built for everyday clinical use, where a comfortable fit and reliable barrier protection matter across long shifts. If you're stocking an exam room, dental practice, lab, or home care setting, this collection covers the full size run — X-Small through X-Large — so every hand on your team gets a proper fit.

Two options anchor the range. Flexal Touch gloves are a 3.1 mil blue nitrile glove, powder-free and available in every size (88RT100S through 88RT100XL), making them a practical all-purpose choice for routine exams, medication passes, and general patient contact where tactile sensitivity is important. Flexal Feel gloves (N88TT23L) add textured fingertips for a more secure grip when handling instruments or working in wet conditions.

Why nitrile over latex? Nitrile is a synthetic material, so it eliminates the risk of latex allergy reactions for both staff and patients — a common reason facilities have switched their entire glove program. All Flexal gloves are powder-free, which reduces airborne particulate and the skin irritation associated with cornstarch powder, and supports cleaner procedures in sensitive environments.

On sizing: nitrile has less stretch than latex, so it's worth ordering true to hand size rather than sizing up. A snug fit preserves the dexterity these gloves are designed for. At 3.1 mil, the Touch strikes a balance between barrier strength and finger feel — thick enough for confident protection, thin enough to keep fine motor tasks easy.
