Hygiene and infection control are paramount in any dental, clinical, or laboratory setting. Hand hygiene and disposable gloves are an intrinsic part of this and help keep both dentist (or another practitioner) and patient safe.
Adam Dental proudly offers nitrile gloves in Australia. Compared with disposable vinyl or latex gloves, nitrile gloves are the superior product. While latex is derived from natural rubber (which grows on trees), nitrile is a synthetic rubber compound. It has a higher level of chemical resistance and puncture resistance compared with vinyl or latex.
Nitrile is becoming more affordable and is the ideal material for disposable gloves. As such, its popularity is growing in the dental, medical, research, food, and cleaning industries
At least 1-5% of the general population has a latex allergy. Nitrile has a considerably lower allergy rate than latex – which is beneficial to dentists, doctors, other professionals, and most importantly, patients. It also offers the best latex-free protection available against viruses.
