While simple disposable gloves are sufficient for use in gastronomy or beauty salons, products for medical use or application with chemicals must be certified according to European standards 455 and 374.
Disposable Gloves in Medicine and Care
Disposable gloves for medical use in hospitals, clinics, and care facilities must be certified according to European standards 455. This standard specifies the criteria that gloves must meet to be approved for medical use. Gloves must not only be completely impermeable and meet standardized dimensions, but the European standard also specifies the exact amount of powder that may be used on the gloves.
Disposable Gloves for Chemical Work
Nitrile gloves are particularly suitable for protection against chemicals. Similar to medical protective gloves, chemical protective gloves are tested according to European standard 374. Gloves that comply with this standard are both air and water-tight and provide protection against fungi and bacteria. The level of chemical protection can be determined by a pictogram on the side of the box.

At Medicalcorner24®, you will find a wide selection of disposable gloves made from different materials. Depending on the application area, different variations are recommended - for example, high wearing comfort is particularly relevant for cosmetic treatments, while in the field of surgery, it is important to ensure that the glove is puncture-resistant to protect both the practicing physician and the patient.

Vinyl
Vinyl gloves are the most cost-effective alternative among disposable gloves. Due to the special softness of the material, they are primarily used in care, cosmetic salons, and households. However, direct contact of the soft material with food should be avoided as plasticizers can be released from the gloves.
Advantages
- Soft material
- High wearing comfort
- Good tactile sensitivity
- Hypoallergenic
Disadvantages
- Low stretchability
- Less tear-resistant
- Low protection against chemicals, oils, and fats
Areas of Application
- Elderly care
- Medical care
- Cosmetic salons
- Nail studios
Latex
Latex gloves are still considered classics among disposable gloves. Due to their special thickness and tear resistance, they are suitable as work gloves in various fields.
Medical examinations and treatments in medical practices and hospitals, in particular, benefit from latex gloves as lotions or gels do not penetrate the material. Therefore, examination gloves also serve as contamination protection in the healthcare sector. The barrier function of the gloves, due to their puncture resistance, makes them an indispensable tool in the operating room. For this purpose, the latex gloves must be sterile.
Advantages
- High tactile sensitivity
- High tear resistance
- Increased flexibility
- Increased comfort with powdered latex gloves
Disadvantages
- Higher content of latex proteins
- Risk of latex allergy
Areas of Application
- Human medicine
- Veterinary medicine
- Tattoo studios
- Cosmetic salons
- Nail studios
Nitrile
Nitrile gloves are alternative disposable protective gloves with versatile applications. Nitrile rubber has high resistance to oils and fats, making the gloves excellent for use as chemical-resistant gloves and in the food industry.
Advantages

- Hypoallergenic
- Durable
- Chemical-resistant
- Suitable for contact with food
Disadvantages
- Higher content of latex proteins
- Risk of latex allergy
