Guia do comprador

O que considerar

Barrier strength

Nitrile gloves offer strong puncture and chemical resistance, making them more durable for clinical and diagnostic work. Latex offers good elasticity but is more prone to tearing under sharp contact.

  • Nitrile: strong puncture and chemical resistance
  • Latex: good elasticity, more prone to tearing
02

Tactile sensitivity and comfort

Latex offers excellent tactile sensitivity and a snug, elastic fit, which some users find more comfortable for precise work. Nitrile has improved significantly and now offers comparable sensitivity with better durability.

03

Allergy profile

Latex proteins can cause allergic reactions in both wearers and patients. Nitrile is latex-free, making it the safer choice for allergy-sensitive healthcare settings.

04

Cost

Latex gloves are generally less expensive than nitrile. However, the cost difference is often worth it for the stronger barrier and allergy safety that nitrile provides in clinical settings.
