NitriDerm Nitrile Exam Gloves

NitriDerm gloves from Innovative Healthcare are built for procedures where extended forearm coverage and chemotherapy-drug protection matter — infusion suites, oncology pharmacies, sterile processing, and any setting handling hazardous drugs or splash-prone tasks. Every glove in this collection is a nitrile formulation with an extended cuff length of roughly 11.5 inches, so protection reaches well past the standard wrist line where sleeves and gowns leave a gap.

The two families here answer two different needs. The NitriDerm EC line ships as sterile pairs (50 pairs per box) in small, medium, large, and X-large, with a beaded cuff, smooth finish, and 0.20 mm (8 mil) wall thickness — the choice when you need a sterile, chemo-tested barrier for a defined procedure. The NitriDerm EP line (item 182200) is non-sterile and packaged for higher-volume, general exam use where sterility isn't required but extended coverage still is. All are ambidextrous, powder-free, and uncoated.

A few buying notes worth checking before you order: sterile EC gloves are counted in pairs, not individual gloves, and are sold by the box or in multi-box cases (4 boxes), so confirm your unit of measure against your usage. If you handle cytotoxic agents, look specifically for the chemo-tested designations on the X-large (114350) and other EC references — chemo testing is verified against ASTM D6978 permeation standards, and not every SKU carries the same panel of drug data. Powder-free nitrile also sidesteps the latex-allergy and glove-powder concerns that drive most facilities away from older exam-glove stock.
