GlovePlus® HD Extra Long Nitrile Exam Glove Features
Engineered for EMTs, paramedics, emergency department personnel, first responders, and high-risk industrial users who need substantially more barrier protection than standard 4 mil exam gloves provide, the AMMEX GlovePlus HD GPNHD64100 is an 8 mil, 12-inch blue nitrile exam gloves with fully textured grip, powder-free latex-free nitrile construction, and exam-grade certification. At 8 mil, the GlovePlus HD is more than twice the thickness of a standard nitrile exam glove, with exceptional resistance to puncture, abrasion, and chemical splash. At 12 inches, the extended cuff covers the wrist and lower forearm — the zone most exposed during reaching, patient handling, and work in uncontrolled environments where sleeve-to-glove coverage gaps are a consistent exposure risk.
Sold as a case of 10 boxes at 50 gloves per box, the $189 case price delivers 500 gloves at $0.378 per glove for high-volume users. Beaded cuff supports controlled donning. Polymer-coated interior provides smooth comfort during extended wear. Ambidextrous fit in Medium (GPNHD64100). Latex-free nitrile eliminates natural rubber latex allergy risk.

Applications
AMMEX GlovePlus HD gloves are deployed by EMS units as standard first responder gloves at trauma and overdose scenes, in emergency departments during high-exposure procedures, in law enforcement for searches and evidence handling, in automotive and heavy industrial maintenance requiring resistance to sharp metal edges and chemical splash, in veterinary practices during large animal and surgical procedures, and wherever standard exam-grade nitrile is too thin for the risk level of the task.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the AMMEX GlovePlus HD designed for and why does 8 mil matter?
AMMEX developed GlovePlus HD for EMTs, paramedics, emergency department personnel, and high-risk industrial users needing more barrier than standard 4 mil exam gloves. At 8 mil, GlovePlus HD is more than twice the thickness of standard nitrile — directly increasing resistance to puncture, abrasion, and chemical penetration. Extended 12-inch length covers the wrist and lower forearm, the zone most exposed during patient handling and reaching in uncontrolled environments.
Why is the 12-inch extended cuff important for high-risk applications?
Standard exam gloves measure approximately 9.5 inches, placing the cuff at the wrist. In emergency medical response and chemical handling, the wrist and lower forearm are frequently exposed to blood, fluids, and chemical splash during reaching, lifting, and patient contact. A 12-inch cuff covers more than 2 inches further up the forearm, closing the gap between glove and gown sleeve. Extended coverage provides meaningful additional protection during the full duration of patient care without re-gloving.
How is the GlovePlus HD sold and what does the case of 10 boxes contain?
GPNHD64100 ships as a case of 10 boxes, 50 gloves per box, totaling 500 gloves per case. At $189 per case, the per-glove cost is $0.378 for high-volume users including EMS agencies, emergency departments, and medical facilities. Individual boxes of 50 are not available through this listing; the case of 10 is the standard purchase unit. Facilities with lower volume needs can distribute individual boxes from a single case to multiple use points as needed.
Can GlovePlus HD gloves be used for chemical handling and industrial applications?
Yes. The 8 mil thickness and fully textured surface make GlovePlus HD appropriate for chemical handling, automotive repair, janitorial work, and manufacturing where standard exam gloves are too thin. While exam-grade, heavy-duty nitrile provides substantially greater resistance to chemical splash, oils, solvents, and abrasive surfaces than lighter-gauge clinical gloves. For chemical immersion or prolonged solvent contact, reusable heavy-gauge chemical-resistant gloves are more appropriate — but for splash protection and contamination control in industrial environments, GlovePlus HD delivers high-performance single-use coverage.
