The Microflex SafeGrip disposable, chlorinated, powder-free,
extended length latex glove has textured fingertips. It has a
palm thickness of 11.0 mils and a finger thickness of 14.2 mils,
and is 11.6" long from the tip of the middle finger to the edge
of the beaded wrist cuff, which is 7.9 mils thick. The extended
length cuff helps protect the hand, wrist, and forearm. The glove
is suitable for automotive, emergency medical services,
care, industrial safety, laboratory, and mortuary
applications. Latex provides better elasticity than nitrile,
chloroprene, or vinyl, and better puncture resistance than vinyl.
The glove is textured on the ends of the fingers for improved
grip compared to a glove with a smooth texture. It has been
washed in a diluted chlorine-based solution to help reduce
tackiness, providing lower surface friction than a
non-chlorinated glove and allowing quick donning in wet
environments. This powder-free glove leaves no residue, helping
to reduce the likelihood of spreading latex ens and
bacteria compared to a powdered glove. The glove meets the
emergency medical glove requirements of the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) code 1999 (2008 edition). The color
of this ambidextrous glove is blue.
Tensile strength, measured in megapascals (MPa), is the a
of force required to rip a glove; the higher the number, the
stronger the glove material. This glove has a tensile strength of
34 MPa before aging and 28 MPa after aging. Elongation measures
how much a glove can be stretched before it breaks. It is
expressed as a percent of the original length of the glove at the
moment of breakage, and the higher the percent, the more the
glove can stretch. This glove has an elongation of 750% before
aging and 600% after aging. Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) is a
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) quality specification for the
defect rate in surgical and exam gloves. The FDA requires an AQL
of 1.5 for surgical gloves and 2.5 for exam gloves. This glove
has an AQL of 1.5, which means the defect level from a large
sample of the gloves will not exceed 1.5%. Microflex examination
gloves meet or exceed applicable standards imposed by ASTM
International, formerly known as the American Society for Testing
and Materials (ASTM), and the FDA.
Disposable and limited-use gloves are used in medical, forensic,
scientific, art, and industrial applications. Gloves are commonly
made from flexible materials such as latex, nitrile, chloroprene,
and vinyl. While most disposable gloves are designed for either
hand, some can be purchased in hand-specific models. They are
offered powdered or powder-free; silicone or silicone-free;
chlorinated or non-chlorinated; coated or uncoated; with a
standard- or extended-length cuff; sterile or non-sterile; and
with textured or smooth fingers, fingertips, and palms. A glove's
abrasion, cut, and puncture resistance is defined by glove
material and thickness, and may be improved with the use of
certain exterior coatings. Abrasion resistance means the glove
helps protect the hand from contact with rough objects. Cut
resistance means the glove helps protect the hand from blades and
sharp instruments. Puncture resistance means the glove helps
protect the hand from pointed objects such as pins and needles.
resistance means the glove helps protect the hand from
certain s. resistance is defined by glove
material, thickness, and length, as well as the work environment
and s likely to be encountered. For information on the
resistance of this glove, consult the manufacturer's
resistance guide ( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/BISS/Guides/Microflex/MicroflexLatexNitrileChart.pdf ).
