Full details

SafeTouch Nitrile Gloves are designed for professionals and individuals requiring superior protection against punctures and tears, making them ideal for demanding tasks. Their key benefit is robust durability and a reliable barrier for sensitive work.

Troubleshooting

Glove tears during use

Ensure you are using the correct size glove. Avoid stretching the glove excessively during donning. If working with extremely sharp objects, consider double-gloving or using a thicker gauge glove if available for the task.

Difficulty donning gloves

Ensure hands are completely dry before putting on the gloves. Try gently rolling the cuff down slightly and then pulling it up over your hand and wrist. If hands are sweaty, let them air dry for a moment before re-attempting.

Skin irritation after use

Although powder-free, some individuals may have sensitivities to nitrile. Ensure hands are clean and dry before use, and remove gloves promptly after task completion. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
