Non-sterile disposable nitrile examination gloves (small)
Description
Premier Blue Nitrile Examination Gloves - Non Sterile - Small - Box Of 200 are single-use, powder-free nitrile examination gloves designed to provide a durable barrier against blood and blood-stained bodily fluids, as well as good resistance to puncture from sharps and protection during tasks that pull, stretch or twist the glove. The small size has a palm width of 70–90 mm. These blue gloves are single chlorinated, feature a standard cuff length, and are intended as a comfortable, latex-free alternative to traditional latex examination gloves for medical, dental and general clinical use. Each dispensing box contains 200 non-sterile gloves.

Usage
- Select the correct size (small; palm width 70–90 mm) to ensure a close but comfortable fit without overstretching the glove.
- Check the packaging and expiry date before use; do not use if the box or gloves appear damaged or compromised.
- Perform appropriate hand hygiene (hand washing or use of alcohol hand rub) and dry hands thoroughly before donning gloves.
- Remove a glove from the dispensing box, insert fingers and hand carefully, and pull the cuff over the wrist; repeat for the other hand.
- During use, avoid contact with sharp edges or instruments beyond what the glove is rated for; change gloves if they become torn, heavily soiled or after each patient/clinical task in accordance with infection-control policy.
- After use, grasp the outside of one glove at the wrist and peel it away from the hand, turning it inside out; hold the removed glove in the gloved hand, then slide ungloved fingers under the remaining glove’s wrist and peel it off over the first glove.
- Dispose of used gloves immediately in the appropriate clinical or domestic waste stream according to local protocols.
- Wash or sanitise hands thoroughly after glove removal.
- Do not reuse these gloves; they are designed and certified for single use only.
Contraindications
- Do not use if you have a known hypersensitivity or allergy to nitrile or any component of the glove formulation.
- Not suitable for surgical or sterile procedures; sterile surgical gloves should be used where sterility is required.
- Do not reuse single-use gloves; reuse may significantly increase the risk of glove failure and cross-contamination.
- Not recommended for prolonged or repeated contact with aggressive chemicals beyond the levels specified for EN 374 Part 1 compliance; consult chemical resistance information where relevant.
Adverse Effects
- Potential for skin irritation or contact dermatitis in some users due to prolonged occlusion or sensitivity to glove materials or processing chemicals.
- In rare cases, possible allergic reactions to components of nitrile or glove additives (despite being latex-free).
- Excessive sweating or discomfort during extended wear, common to most occlusive glove types.
- Tearing or puncture during use if gloves are exposed to sharp objects or overstretched, which may compromise barrier protection.
Storage Conditions
- Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
- Avoid exposure to excessive heat, humidity or ozone sources which may degrade nitrile material over time.
- Keep in original packaging until use to protect from dust and contamination.
- Do not store near solvents, oils or chemicals that may affect the glove material.
- Observe expiry dates and apply stock rotation on a first-expiry, first-out basis.
Duration
Not applicable; gloves provide barrier protection only while worn and are intended for single-use episodes during individual procedures or tasks.
Onset
Immediate barrier protection upon correct donning of intact gloves.
