Description
Aurelia Robust Nitrile Powder Free Gloves are premium quality sky-blue nitrile examination gloves designed to provide greater tensile strength, puncture resistance and chemical resistance than comparable latex and vinyl gloves. Made from 100% nitrile with a 4.5 mil (approx. 0.11 mm) nominal thickness and fully micro-textured finish, these non-sterile, ambidextrous gloves deliver durable, all-day protection with superior comfort and dexterity. Each batch is air-tested to detect pinholes, and the gloves are manufactured and certified as both medical devices and Category III PPE. This listing refers to the Small size, supplied in a dispenser box of 100 powder-free blue nitrile examination gloves.
Bnefits
Premium sky-blue nitrile formulation offers greater tensile strength and puncture resistance than comparable latex and vinyl examination gloves.
4.5 mil single-wall thickness (approximate) provides a robust barrier while maintaining flexibility and comfort for extended wear.
Fully micro-textured surface enhances grip and control in dry, wet or mildly oily conditions, improving instrument handling and safety.
Powder-free and 100% latex-free construction reduces the risk of powder-related contamination and latex allergy reactions.
Longer-length cuff (minimum 240 mm) offers increased coverage and protection for the wrist and lower forearm.
Non-sterile, ambidextrous design simplifies stock management and dispensing while supporting quick donning in busy environments.
Each batch is air-tested to detect pinholes, supporting consistent barrier performance and quality.
Certified to EN 455 for medical use and EN ISO 374 for protection against selected chemicals and microorganisms, including viruses.
Food-contact compliant, making the gloves suitable for food handling and processing applications.
Versatile glove suitable for healthcare, laboratory, industrial, janitorial, automotive and aesthetic practice use.
Indications
General medical and dental examinations requiring non-sterile, single-use examination gloves.
Aesthetic medicine, dermatology, tattooing and cosmetic procedures where durable, latex-free gloves with good grip are required.
Design: Fully micro-textured (all-over microtexture) to improve grip.
Single-wall thickness (minimum values from EU product sheet): finger min. 0.12 mm, palm min. 0.09 mm, cuff min. 0.05 mm (approx. 4.5 mil nominal overall).
Length: Minimum 240 mm across all sizes (XS–XL).
Glove weight: 5.0 g ± 0.2 g (reference size, from EU product sheet).
Cuff: Beaded cuff for added strength and easier donning.
Powder: Powder free (no added donning powder).
Protein content: Not made with natural rubber latex; protein free.
Texture: Micro-textured surface for improved grip performance.
Physical properties (minimum values unaged): tensile strength ≥14 MPa, elongation at break ≥500%, force at break ≥6 N.
Ambidextrous design to fit either hand, simplifying inventory and dispensing.
Beaded cuff to prevent roll-down and provide additional tear resistance at the cuff edge.
Micro-textured surface to enhance grip without significantly compromising tactile sensitivity.
Medical grade quality with AQL 1.5 for pinhole defects.
Classified as both a medical device (examination glove) and Category III PPE.
Available sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL (and sometimes XXL); this configuration refers specifically to Small.
Designed for use as an examination glove but robust enough for many industrial and high-demand applications.
Packaging
Dispenser box containing 100 blue powder-free nitrile examination gloves (by count) in size Small.
Standard case configuration: 10 boxes per outer carton (10 x 100 = 1,000 gloves).
Dispenser box features a perforated opening for easy single-glove dispensing.
Packaging clearly marked with product name (Aurelia Robust), size (Small), lot/batch number, manufacturing and expiry dates, and relevant regulatory symbols.
Outer shipping case printed with product description, size range, quantity, manufacturer/distributor details and barcodes for logistics and stock rotation.
Shelf-life indicated as up to 5 years from date of manufacture when stored under recommended conditions.
Usage
Before use, check that the outer carton and dispenser box are intact and that the gloves are within the indicated expiry date.
Ensure hands are clean and dry; remove sharp jewellery and trim nails to minimise the risk of puncturing the glove.
Select the correct size (Small) to ensure a snug but comfortable fit that allows full range of motion without excessive stretching.
Remove a glove from the dispenser by the cuff, avoiding contact with multiple gloves where possible.
Insert fingers and thumb fully into the glove and pull the beaded cuff over the wrist, smoothing out any folds to ensure an even fit.
Repeat the process for the opposite hand, using aseptic technique where required in clinical environments.
During use, avoid contact with chemicals or cytotoxic agents that are not listed as compatible in the glove’s EN ISO 374 chemical-resistance data or local COSHH assessments.
Change gloves between patients, between different tasks on the same patient, and immediately if the glove is torn, punctured, heavily soiled or after contact with aggressive chemicals.
To remove, grasp the outside of one glove near the wrist and peel it off inside out, holding it in the gloved hand; slide an ungloved finger under the cuff of the remaining glove and peel it off over the first glove, avoiding contact with the outer glove surfaces.
Dispose of used gloves in accordance with local infection-control, clinical waste or general waste policies; do not wash or reuse disposable gloves.
After glove removal, wash or sanitise hands according to current hand-hygiene guidelines.
Contraindications
Known or suspected allergy or hypersensitivity to nitrile or any of the chemicals (e.g., accelerators, pigments) used in the glove formulation.
Use as a substitute for sterile surgical gloves in procedures that require a sterile barrier; Aurelia Robust gloves are non-sterile examination gloves.
Use with aggressive chemicals, solvents or cytotoxic drugs beyond the glove’s tested EN ISO 374 chemical-resistance profile and local risk assessments.
Use in environments involving open flame, high heat or molten materials; nitrile examination gloves are not heat- or flame-resistant PPE.
Do not use if gloves appear brittle, sticky, discoloured, torn, punctured or otherwise degraded, or if the packaging is damaged or opened before use.
Adverse Effects
Possible skin irritation, contact dermatitis or allergic reactions in susceptible individuals due to nitrile compounds or residual process chemicals.
Excessive sweating and skin maceration when gloves are worn continuously for prolonged periods without rest or glove changes.
Reduced fine tactile sensitivity and manual dexterity if the wrong glove size is worn or if multiple glove layers are used.
Increased risk of contamination or exposure if gloves are reused, worn beyond their intended duration, or used with sharp instruments that may puncture the glove.
If gloves are used with chemicals outside their tested resistance profile, permeation can occur and lead to chemical exposure.
Storage Conditions
Store in a cool, dry, clean environment away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light.
Maintain storage temperatures typically below 40°C, avoiding extremes of heat and cold and excessive humidity as indicated on the packaging.
Keep gloves away from ozone-generating devices and from chemicals, oils, solvents and fumes that could degrade nitrile.
Store in the original packaging until required to protect from dust, moisture and contaminants.
Rotate stock on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis and do not use gloves beyond the expiry date printed on the packaging.
Duration
Single-use disposable examination glove intended for one procedure or task only; must be changed between patients or tasks, or sooner if damaged or visibly contaminated.
Onset
Provides immediate barrier protection and grip enhancement as soon as the glove is correctly donned and remains intact.
