Purple Nitrile Exam Gloves

The distinctive purple color of the Halyard Purple Nitrile line isn't just for looks — it signals a glove built for demanding clinical environments, and every option in this collection is chemo tested for handling hazardous drugs. Whether you're stocking an infusion suite, an oncology pharmacy, or a general exam room, these gloves deliver the puncture resistance, tactile sensitivity, and chemical protection that nitrile is known for, without the allergy concerns of latex.

Buyers typically weigh three things: sterility, cuff length, and fit. For procedures requiring an aseptic field, the Halyard Purple Nitrile Sterile Exam Gloves (55093) come in sterile pairs — available as single pairs or in 100- and 200-pair cases — sized large and chemo tested. For everyday exam and drug-handling tasks, the non-sterile Halyard Purple Nitrile Gloves (55082) in medium feature textured fingertips and a standard cuff for reliable grip and quick donning.

Extended cuff options for added forearm protection

When you need coverage past the wrist — common in chemo compounding and splash-prone work — the Nitrile-Xtra line extends the cuff length while keeping textured fingertips for control. Halyard's 50603 comes in large and non-sterile, while the Owens & Minor Nitrile-Xtra (50601) adds a small size and the sterile 14263 covers extra-large. For high-durability everyday use, the Owens & Minor Purple Nitrile (55084) offers a beaded cuff and a substantial 5.5 mil thickness in X-large.

All of these gloves are ambidextrous and powder-free, so they fit either hand and reduce contamination risk. If your facility standardizes on a single brand across departments, order case quantities in the sizes your staff actually wears — an accurate size chart cuts down on both waste and hand fatigue over long shifts.
