Wide range of disposable gloves
We understand that gloves are designed to work differently, so we have brought you different types of gloves suited for different applications, including nitrile gloves, latex or latex-free gloves, surgical gloves, sterile gloves, vinyl gloves and more.
Nitrile gloves are durable and puncture-resistant, often preferred in medical and industrial settings for their comfort, flexibility and contaminant resistance. Made from synthetic rubber, they provide a reliable barrier against many biological substances and are less prone to tearing, making them ideal for environments requiring high durability. While nitrile gloves offer moderate resistance to some chemicals, they are unsuitable for handling highly corrosive substances or specific solvents. Furthermore, nitrile gloves are latex-free, making them an ideal choice for individuals with latex allergies.
Latex gloves offer excellent flexibility and resilience, making them suitable for tasks requiring secure and comfortable hand protection. Crafted from natural rubber, they provide a snug, contoured fit that enhances grip and ease of movement. Due to their comfort and reliability, latex gloves are widely used in medical and laboratory environments. However, they may cause allergic reactions in some users, so latex-free alternatives are often recommended for individuals with sensitivities.
Our latex-free medical gloves are designed to help prevent skin allergies and reactions. Vinyl gloves, a cost-effective latex-free option, provide standard protection for everyday tasks where there is minimal exposure to biohazards or contaminants. However, they are not suitable for handling chemicals and should only be used in low-risk environments. They are soft and comfortable to wear for short-term use. Whether you need latex or latex-free medical surgical gloves, Alpha Medical Solutions offers a range of options to ensure safety and compliance in the workplace.
Our powder-free gloves are suitable for painting, finishing and sealing applications. The powder can leave residues or particles on the finishes resulting in fisheyes or unpleasant appearance on surfaces. If you are working on projects involving painting, sealing and finishes, you’ll want to use these types of gloves. They are less messy compared to powdered gloves.
We also feature surgical gloves meant for medical examination to help prevent contamination between patients and caregivers or healthcare workers. Surgical gloves are utilised during procedures that don’t require sterile conditions. You can wear them when drawing blood from a patient for a bleed test. Also, you may use these gloves if you are handling dangerous chemicals or pharmaceuticals.
Sterile gloves are suitable for operating rooms because they help protect a healthcare worker as well as the patient from contamination. They help prevent pathogens like bacteria and viruses from entering the surgical work area. Additionally, sterile gloves protect users from chemicals utilised in operating rooms.
Black gloves, particularly nitrile gloves, are highly versatile and widely used across various industries. They are especially popular among tattoo artists, food service workers, automotive professionals, beauty technicians, cleaning and other industrial work. Known for their durability, puncture resistance and ability to hide grease, grime and dirt, black nitrile gloves help workers maintain a professional appearance while providing a reliable barrier for hygiene and safety. Their combination of durability, flexibility and professional look makes black nitrile gloves an ideal choice for environments that demand cleanliness, protection and a polished appearance.

FAQs
What is the shelf life of disposable gloves?
The lifespan of disposable medical gloves typically ranges from three to five years, depending on material and storage practices.
Nitrile gloves have the most extended lifespan and may last up to five years due to their synthetic composition, which provides strong resistance to chemicals such as oils, acids and solvents. Latex medical gloves made from natural rubber deliver excellent elasticity and protection against water-based chemicals and biohazards, though they degrade faster when exposed to heat, light or oils. While latex-free and suitable for those with allergies, vinyl gloves lack the same durability as latex gloves and are better suited for short-term, low-risk tasks.
Storing all gloves in cool, dry conditions helps extend their lifespan and maintain quality. For more information about your disposable medical gloves, refer to the manufacturer's guidelines.
How are medical gloves sterilised?
These medical gloves undergo thorough sterilisation to ensure they are free from harmful contaminants, making them suitable for use in high-risk situations like surgeries.
Methods of sterilisation include:
- Ethylene oxide (EtO) gas — The standard method for heat-sensitive materials, EtO gas sterilises by penetrating the glove material and neutralising bacteria, viruses and fungi.
- Gamma radiation — This technique uses high-energy radiation to disrupt the DNA of microorganisms, ensuring sterility without using heat.
- Steam autoclaving — High-pressure steam kills pathogens and is mainly applied to heat-resistant materials, such as nitrile gloves.
These sterilisation methods ensure that medical gloves meet the rigorous sterility standards required in healthcare.
What are the symptoms of latex allergies?
When using latex medical gloves, individuals with a latex allergy can experience various symptoms, which range from mild to severe:
- Mild symptoms — Wearing latex medical gloves can cause mild allergic reactions, such as itching, redness, hives or rashes. These symptoms occur when the gloves make contact with the skin.
- Moderate reactions — Inhaling latex particles may result in sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, coughing or respiratory discomfort. These symptoms are more common in environments with prolonged exposure to latex gloves.
- Severe reactions — In rare cases, exposure can lead to anaphylaxis, a life-threatening reaction involving difficulty breathing, chest tightness, swelling of the face or throat and a significant drop in blood pressure.
Individuals with latex allergies should opt for medical glove alternatives like nitrile and vinyl gloves to avoid allergic reactions and maintain safe work environments.
How do I choose the best size of medical gloves?
When choosing medical gloves, finding the right size for a snug but comfortable fit that allows for dexterity and movement is essential. Sizes typically range from small to extra-large. Some products on our website have sizing charts that let you measure the circumference of your hand across the palm to determine the best fit. If a sizing chart isn't available for a specific product, it's best to consult the manufacturer's guide or make an estimate based on standard sizes. Wearing well-fitted medical gloves enhances both comfort and protection.

Can disposable medical gloves be reused?
No, disposable medical gloves are designed for single use and should not be reused. Reusing gloves compromises their integrity, increases contamination risk and reduces their protective capabilities. Whether you are wearing nitrile, latex, surgical or latex-free gloves, disposable non-medical and medical gloves can lose their effectiveness and integrity after being worn just once.
To maintain hygiene and safety, medical gloves should be discarded after each use — especially in environments like healthcare, food handling or situations where you are exposed to hazardous materials.
How do I properly use and dispose of medical gloves?
- Correct usage — Glove usage is crucial for maintaining hygiene and safety in medical, industrial and food-handling settings. Medical gloves should be used for a single task and changed immediately afterwards to prevent cross-contamination.
- Safe removal techniques — Proper glove removal is crucial to avoid contaminant exposure. Begin by pinching one glove at the wrist without touching your skin, pulling it inside out, and holding it with the other hand. Then, slide your ungloved fingers under the wrist of the remaining glove, peeling it off over the first glove. Discard both medical gloves in the designated waste bin.
- Disposal methods — Proper disposal of medical gloves, including vinyl and nitrile gloves, is essential. Nitrile gloves, which may be used in certain chemical handling situations, should be disposed of according to local guidelines for medical or hazardous waste when exposed to biohazards or specific contaminants. For everyday tasks, discard gloves in regular waste bins after use, but always wash your hands thoroughly after removing gloves to prevent contamination.
By following these simple guidelines, you can ensure the safe and responsible use of disposable medical gloves in a medical, industrial or other professional environment.

Disposable Latex Gloves & Rubber Gloves
If you’ve been searching for the right type of hand protection to perform specific tasks, chances are you’ve come across Latex Gloves, which are undoubtedly among the most popular work and disposable gloves.
As their name suggests, Latex Gloves are made from latex — a derivative of natural rubber. This natural and biodegradable material resource is also renewable, making Latex Gloves an environmentally friendly option. So, if you are looking for a supplier of Latex Gloves in Australia, you can buy Latex Gloves online at Alpha Medical Solutions directly.
Advantages of Latex Gloves
Aside from being made from an eco-friendly, biodegradable and compostable material, Latex Gloves also provide the following advantages:
- Superior comfort and fit — For specific professions, finding gloves that offer outstanding comfort and fit is crucial as these affect the user’s range of motion and dexterity. Latex gloves fit close to the skin and do not impede the natural movements of the hands and fingers.
- Chemical resistance — Latex Gloves are sourced from the Hevea brasiliensis species of rubber trees, which impart the gloves with the natural ability to resist certain chemicals, like chlorine, formaldehyde and iodine, as well as specific acids and bases.
- Puncture resistance — Depending on the thickness of the Latex Gloves, they can offer protection against spills, scrapes and cuts. Thicker, heavy-duty Latex Gloves are appropriate for certain industrial and automotive uses.
However, note that some people have a sensitivity to latex. Therefore, it’s crucial to determine whether the ones who will use the latex gloves are allergic to the material. This way, you can look at buying Latex-Free Gloves, such as Nitrile Gloves and other Latex-Free options.
