Ansell NeoPro EC Exam Gloves

NeoPro EC gloves solve a specific problem: how do you get chemical splash protection and reliable barrier strength without natural rubber latex? Ansell's answer is polychloroprene — a synthetic that mimics the fit and elasticity of latex while removing the risk of Type I allergic reactions for both clinicians and patients. The extended-cuff "EC" design carries protection further up the forearm, which is exactly what matters when you're handling chemotherapy agents, drawing solvents, or working with fluid-heavy procedures.

At 0.21 mm (8.3 mil) with an 11.8-inch length, these are a heavier, longer glove than a standard exam glove — built for tasks where a thin nitrile wouldn't inspire confidence. The green polymer-coated interior speeds donning even with slightly damp hands, textured fingertips sharpen wet and dry grip, and the beaded cuff resists roll-down during long procedures. Every glove is ambidextrous and non-sterile, so a single box covers a mixed team without sorting by hand.

We stock the NEC-288 series in Small (NEC-288-S) and Medium (NEC-288-M). Because polychloroprene stretches to conform, most wearers find sizing runs true — if you're between sizes, the elasticity forgives a snug fit better than a rigid glove would. For labs and oncology settings evaluating chemo-rated protection, NeoPro EC's chemical splash resistance is the reason it's chosen over general-purpose exam gloves.

Comparing chloroprene options? Ansell's FreeForm EC offers another extended-cuff synthetic profile, while Ultrasense EC emphasizes a softer, higher-sensitivity feel for tactile-critical work. Matching cuff length and thickness to your actual task — splash exposure, procedure duration, dexterity demands — is what gets the right glove on the right hands.
