Ansell MICROFLEX Cobalt N19 Nitrile Gloves, Powder-Free, Beaded, 100/Pack (N192)

MICROFLEX® Cobalt® N19 Nitrile Glove Features

Ansell MICROFLEX Cobalt N19 are multipurpose powder-free nitrile gloves with full-hand texture across the palm, fingers, and fingertips. At 3.9 mil with cobalt blue nitrile construction, they carry FDA 510(k) medical exam grade approval, are tested for use with chemotherapy drugs, and comply with FDA food contact regulations — satisfying clinical, laboratory, food handling, and industrial applications from a single glove specification. Beaded cuff supports controlled donning and contamination-free removal. Each pack contains 100 gloves.

Nitrile construction eliminates natural rubber latex proteins, making the Cobalt N19 safe for facilities serving latex-sensitive patients or staff. Eco-conscious packaging uses a minimum of 70 percent recycled material, vegetable-based inks, and a plastic-free recyclable box. Available through LabSupplies.com with authorized dealer pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What industries and applications are Ansell MICROFLEX Cobalt N19 gloves designed for?

Ansell designed the MICROFLEX Cobalt N19 as a multipurpose exam glove across healthcare, dental, laboratory, automotive, food service, tattooing, and beauty applications. In healthcare and dental settings, FDA 510(k) approval and chemotherapy drug testing meet clinical protection requirements. In laboratory settings, nitrile provides resistance to a broad range of chemicals, solvents, and biological materials. Food service use is covered by FDA food contact compliance. In automotive and industrial applications, full texture and 3.9 mil thickness provide grip and puncture resistance during tool and parts handling.

What does fully textured mean compared to fingertip-textured nitrile gloves?

Full texture means the entire outer surface of the glove — palm, fingers, and fingertips — carries the textured finish that increases friction against wet and dry surfaces. Fingertip-textured gloves enhance grip only at the fingertips, sufficient for tasks where fingers make the primary contact. Full texture suits tasks where the palm and full hand grip tools or materials in both wet and dry conditions — automotive work, specimen handling, food preparation, and clinical examination where contact is distributed across the entire hand.

Are Ansell MICROFLEX Cobalt N19 gloves safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes. Nitrile contains no natural rubber latex proteins, eliminating the Type I hypersensitivity risk associated with latex gloves. For facilities serving latex-sensitive patients or employing staff with latex allergies, nitrile is the standard alternative providing equivalent barrier protection and tactile sensitivity. Powder-free formulation further reduces sensitization risk by eliminating the powder carrier that accelerates protein absorption through skin contact.

What does the beaded cuff on the MICROFLEX Cobalt N19 provide?

The beaded cuff creates a raised rolled edge at the wrist opening. During donning, the bead provides a stable grip point that prevents the cuff from rolling back and makes single-handed donning easier when one hand is already gloved. During removal, the bead gives a defined point allowing the glove to be doffed without touching the contaminated outer surface — an important feature in clinical, laboratory, and food handling environments where cross-contamination during removal is a hazard.
