Why choose latex-free gloves
Latex has traditionally been used in glove manufacturing, but many individuals experience allergic reactions ranging from mild irritation to serious complications. To ensure inclusivity and safety, more facilities are choosing latex and powder-free gloves.
Discover our range of latex-free gloves
Alpha Medical Solutions offers a diverse portfolio of latex- and powder-free gloves tailored to different professional and personal needs, including:
-
Nitrile gloves — Strong, puncture-resistant and chemically resilient, nitrile is the most popular choice for medical centres, aged care facilities and laboratories. Available in colours such as blue, black, purple and green to suit clinical coding or personal preference.
We also offer nitrile gloves with extended cuffs, which provide additional coverage for high-risk environments, safeguarding wrists and forearms during exposure to chemicals or fluids.
-
Biodegradable nitrile gloves — Designed for environmentally conscious organisations, these gloves break down faster than traditional nitrile while still providing robust protection.
-
Vinyl gloves — A cost-effective solution for low-risk or short-duration tasks. Lightweight and comfortable, they are ideal for cleaning, food handling or basic care needs.
-
Non-latex surgical gloves — Premium gloves such as Ansell Gammex are engineered for operating theatres, offering precision fit, high tactile sensitivity and guaranteed sterility.
With options available in various thicknesses, sizes and pack formats, our latex-free glove range ensures there is a safe, reliable solution for every application. Need larger quantities for your clinic, aged care facility or workplace? Take advantage of our bulk-buy options to save on cost while ensuring you never run out of essential protection.
