Latex Gloves | Disposable Medical Latex Gloves for Exam & Surgery
Latex gloves remain one of the most trusted options in healthcare, food service, and general-purpose protection, valued for their natural elasticity, tactile sensitivity, and reliable barrier performance. Whether you need disposable latex gloves for patient exams, sterile surgical procedures, or everyday clinical tasks, our collection covers the full range.
Browse 30+ medical latex gloves from leading brands at WellBefore, available in exam and surgical grades, powder-free styles, and sizes from XS to XXL.
What Latex Gloves Does WellBefore Offer?
Our latex gloves collection includes exam gloves, surgical gloves, finger cots, and surgical undergloves designed for healthcare settings, dental offices, laboratories, and more.
Most options are powder-free latex gloves, reducing the risk of allergic reactions and contamination associated with powdered styles. You'll find both sterile and non-sterile options, with sizing that runs from XS through XXL, so facilities can properly fit all staff members.
Types of Latex Gloves Available at WellBefore
Latex Exam Gloves
Latex exam gloves are non-sterile, single-use gloves used for medical exams, dental procedures, food handling, and general-purpose use to shield against germs and chemicals while offering dexterity and tactile sensitivity. Options include the McKesson Confiderm Exam Glove, Micro-Touch Plus Exam Glove, Safe-Touch Latex Exam Glove, and more from brands like McKesson, Micro-Touch, Safe-Touch, Codeblue, and Cypress Plus.
Latex Surgical Gloves
Sterile and individually packaged, latex surgical gloves are designed to meet the tighter dimensional tolerances required for operating rooms, procedure suites, and dental surgeries. Find options such as Sempermed Supreme Surgical Glove and Confiderm LT Surgical Glove, made from natural rubber latex and available in powder-free variants. You will find products from brands like McKesson, Biogel, Protexis, ENCORE, Sempermed, and DermAssist.
Latex Finger Cots
For procedures or tasks that require protection on individual fingers rather than a full glove, latex finger cots are a practical solution. The Medi-First Finger Cot provides single-finger coverage for wound care, medication application, and minor procedure tasks without the bulk of a full glove.
Latex Surgical Undergloves
Double-gloving is a recommended practice in high-risk surgical environments, and latex surgical undergloves serve as the inner layer in that system. The Biogel Indicator Underglove is designed to display a visible color change if the outer glove is breached, giving the surgical team immediate notification of a puncture.
Tips for Choosing the Right Latex Gloves
Understand the Difference Between Exam Grade and Surgical Grade
Not all latex gloves are held to the same standards. Exam gloves are non-sterile and tested for barrier integrity under ASTM exam glove standards. Latex surgical gloves are sterile, individually wrapped, and meet tighter AQL (Acceptable Quality Level) tolerances. For any procedure requiring a sterile field, always use surgical-grade gloves.
Match the Glove to the Task, Not Just the Budget
Medical grade latex gloves vary in wall thickness, which affects both tactile sensitivity and durability. Micro-thickness surgical gloves are ideal for intricate procedures where feel is critical. Heavier options are better suited for orthopedic cases where puncture resistance matters more. For general exams, standard-thickness exam gloves perform well at a lower cost per glove.
Size Your Gloves Properly
Latex gloves in our collection range from XS to XXL for staff who find standard sizes restrictive. A proper fit reduces hand fatigue, prevents tearing at stress points, and maintains dexterity throughout a procedure. Ordering a size assortment is recommended for facilities stocking gloves for multiple staff members.
Consider Latex Sensitivity Before Ordering
While latex gloves offer excellent performance, latex allergies affect a portion of both healthcare workers and patients. If your facility has a latex-sensitive population, polyisoprene or nitrile alternatives may be more appropriate. For facilities without allergy concerns, latex remains a cost-effective and well-tested choice with a long track record in medical and surgical settings.

Frequently Asked Questions About Latex Gloves
What are latex gloves used for?
Latex gloves are used across a wide range of applications, including patient examinations, surgical procedures, dental work, laboratory handling, wound care, food preparation, and general-purpose protection. In medical settings, they provide a barrier against blood, bodily fluids, and pathogens. Their natural elasticity and tactile sensitivity make them a preferred choice for tasks requiring precision and dexterity.

Are latex gloves FSA eligible?
Latex gloves may or may not be FSA eligible depending on indivusiaul prodycys. If you're unsure whether a specific product qualifies, check with your FSA/HSA plan administrator or look for FSA-eligible tags on our site. Or, explore our collection of FSA/HSA eligible products.
What are the best latex gloves for medical use?
The best latex gloves for medical use depend on the application. For exams, choose powder-free, high-sensitivity gloves with good tactile control. For surgical use, sterile latex gloves with precise fit, strong barrier protection, and high durability are preferred.
What are the top brands for medical latex gloves?
Leading medical latex glove brands available at WellBefore include McKesson, Biogel (a Mölnlycke Health brand), Protexis (a Cardinal Health brand), ENCORE, Sempermed, Micro-Touch, DermAssist, Safe-Touch, and Cypress Plus. These brands supply hospitals, surgical centers, and outpatient facilities across the United States.
Do latex gloves leave fingerprints?
Yes, latex gloves can leave fingerprint impressions on smooth or hard surfaces because the glove material conforms closely to the natural ridges of the finger. This is actually a sign of good tactile sensitivity and fit. In forensic or cleanroom contexts where fingerprint transfer is a concern, alternative glove materials may be more appropriate.
Will latex gloves prevent electric shock?
No, latex gloves do not protect against electric shock. They are not tested or rated for electrical insulation. For electrical work, use certified dielectric gloves designed to meet ASTM D120 or IEC 60903 standards.
Are latex gloves allowed in restaurants?
The use of latex gloves may be allowed in restaurants, but rules vary by location. Many jurisdictions discourage or restrict them due to allergy risks. Nitrile or vinyl gloves are generally preferred. Always check local health regulations before use.
What are good latex examination gloves for clinics?
For clinic use, latex exam gloves should offer consistent barrier protection, a comfortable fit, and good tactile sensitivity. Powder-free gloves with low AQL ratings are preferred for reliability. Bulk packaging options are commonly used in high-volume settings to manage cost and supply.
What are the best latex gloves for sensitive skin?
For sensitive skin, powder-free, low-protein latex gloves are recommended to reduce irritation and the risk of allergies. If reactions persist, switching to nitrile or polyisoprene gloves is advisable. Consult an occupational health professional for ongoing skin concerns.
