Although various disposable gloves look the same, they are not interchangeable. Depending on the disposable gloves you choose, two sets of gloves may be made from different materials. To determine which glove would best suit your needs and preferences, there are some pros and cons you should consider to help narrow down your choice. Let\u2019s have a look at the difference between latex and vinyl gloves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Latex Gloves<\/span><\/h2>\n

Since the late 1800s, when William Steward Halsted first developed latex gloves, they have been protecting surgeons and others in a variety of settings. Made from a rubber tree sap, natural rubber latex has long been the traditional material used in disposable medical exam gloves. Latex gloves combine the right balance of flexibility and agility for those working in medical or industrial environments. Said to fit like a second skin, latex gloves offer users protection against chemical and other hazardous contaminants, including infections. Thanks to the lightly powdered inside of the latex gloves, they can easily pull on and off. If you don\u2019t have an allergy to latex, they are an excellent option for personal protection as long as you won\u2019t be handling any petroleum-based products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
