GlovePlus® Powder-Free Exam Grade Nitrile Glove Features
Providing FDA-approved non-sterile exam grade barrier protection at $10 per 100-glove box across medical, dental, laboratory, food service, and light industrial applications, AMMEX GlovePlus powder-free blue nitrile gloves are a 3 mil, latex-free, textured-fingertip standard-duty exam glove with polymer-coated interior for comfortable extended wear. Micro-roughened fingertip texture delivers grip on instruments, labware, and equipment in wet and dry conditions. At $0.10 per glove, they serve as the standard exam glove for high-volume facilities where consistent FDA-compliant barrier protection across routine tasks is the core requirement. Beaded cuff supports controlled removal. Available in Medium (APFN44100), Large (APFN46100), and XL (APFN48100) at 100 gloves per box.
Latex-free nitrile eliminates natural rubber latex allergy risk for wearers and patients. Powder-free formulation avoids the residue that powdered gloves leave on equipment and fresh surfaces. Touchscreen compatibility allows interaction with tablet EMR systems, scanners, and point-of-sale terminals without removing gloves. For facilities requiring heavier barrier protection in high-risk applications, the AMMEX GlovePlus HD (GPNHD64100) provides 8 mil, 12-inch extended cuff coverage at $189 per case of 500 at LabSupplies.com.

Frequently Asked Questions
What applications are AMMEX GlovePlus powder-free nitrile exam gloves suited for?
AMMEX GlovePlus APFN blue nitrile exam gloves are FDA approved for non-sterile medical use and serve clinical, laboratory, food service, and light industrial applications. Medical and dental professionals, laboratory workers in clinical and research settings, food processing facilities, pharmacies, veterinary practices, childcare, and janitorial personnel all rely on standard exam-grade blue nitrile for routine contact and contamination prevention. At $10 per 100-glove box, the per-glove cost of $0.10 makes them practical for high-volume use across any of these settings.
How do AMMEX GlovePlus APFN gloves compare to the GlovePlus HD for high-risk work?
GlovePlus APFN are 3 mil standard-duty exam gloves for general clinical, laboratory, and food service use where the risk profile is routine patient or specimen contact. GlovePlus HD (GPNHD64100) are 8 mil heavy-duty exam gloves with a 12-inch extended cuff for high-risk EMT, trauma, and heavy industrial applications where standard 3 mil provides insufficient barrier. Stocking both covers everyday clinical needs at $0.10/glove and high-risk tasks at $0.378/glove from the same manufacturer.
Are AMMEX GlovePlus nitrile gloves compatible with touchscreen devices?
Yes. Micro-roughened fingertip texture and 3 mil nitrile construction are touchscreen compatible — the conforming nitrile transmits capacitive signals from fingertips through the glove to the screen. Operators interact with tablet EMR systems, barcode scanners, and point-of-sale terminals without removing gloves, reducing interruption and contamination risk between patient contacts or food handling tasks.
What is the difference between AMMEX GlovePlus APFN and other standard blue nitrile exam gloves?
AMMEX has manufactured and distributed disposable gloves since 1988. GlovePlus APFN nitrile gloves meet FDA exam grade specifications for non-sterile medical use. Polymer-coated interior provides comfortable donning and doffing during extended wear. Micro-roughened fingertip texture delivers grip in wet and dry conditions. Latex-free construction eliminates natural rubber latex allergy risk. Powder-free formulation avoids residue contamination on surfaces and equipment.
