Types of Surgical Gloves

Latex Surgical Gloves

The most widely used material in surgical settings, latex surgical gloves offer exceptional tactile sensitivity and a natural fit. Options include the classic latex gloves, the textured latex surgical gloves, the perry style latex gloves, and the standard cuff length surgical latex glove from brands like Cardinal Health, ENCORE, McKesson, Biogel, and more.

Polyisoprene Surgical Gloves

A top alternative for latex-sensitive professionals, polyisoprene surgical gloves replicate the feel and stretch of natural rubber without latex proteins. Find options such as the PI blue with neu-thera, non-latex PI green, non-latex PI surgical, PI surgical glove, and prestige polyisoprene standard cuff from brands like Cardinal Health, GAMMEX, Biogel, Protexis, and DermAssist.

Polychloroprene Surgical Gloves

For facilities that need a latex-free option with strong chemical resistance, polychloroprene surgical gloves are a reliable choice. Options include Perry synthetic polychloroprene gloves and derma prene ultra polyisoprene gloves, from brands like McKesson and GAMMEX.

Synthetic and Nitrile Surgical Gloves

Synthetic and nitrile surgical gloves are ideal for facilities managing latex allergies across staff and patients. Options include Finessis zero flexylon synthetic gloves, NitriDerm surgical gloves, and BNAL nitrile cleanroom gloves, from brands like McKesson and Fisher Healthcare.

Surgical Undergloves and Indicator Gloves

Surgical undergloves provide an added layer of protection and are especially valuable in long or high-risk procedures. The PI indicator underglove changes color to signal a breach in the outer glove, while the non-latex PI underglove offers double-gloving solutions from brands like Biogel and GAMMEX.

Tips for Choosing the Right Surgical Gloves

Know Your Material Needs

If you or your staff have latex sensitivities, polyisoprene or polychloroprene surgical gloves are the closest alternatives in terms of fit and tactile feel. Nitrile and synthetic options work well for facilities with facility-wide latex-free policies. For general use without allergy concerns, latex remains a durable and well-tested option.

Match Fingertip Thickness to Your Procedure

Standard thickness gloves suit most surgical applications, but micro-thickness gloves provide enhanced sensitivity for delicate or intricate procedures. Also, ortho thickness options are built for procedures where extra puncture resistance is a priority.

Consider Glove Coatings and Inner Treatments

Several surgical gloves feature inner coatings designed to ease donning and reduce hand fatigue. Gloves with the Neu-Thera inner coating are formulated to support skin health during extended wear. Also, AquaTouch technology provides another donning aid worth considering.

Size Matters More Than You Think

Surgical gloves that are too tight restrict circulation and dexterity, while oversized gloves reduce tactile feedback. WellBefore carries sizes from 5.5 through 9 (with size 8.5 also available in select styles), making it easier for facilities to properly fit all staff members. Choosing the right size of surgical gloves reduces fatigue and the risk of intraoperative errors.

Use Indicator Gloves for High-Risk Procedures

For surgeries where a glove breach could have serious consequences, you can consider double-gloving with an indicator underglove. There are multiple options designed to show a color change if the outer glove is punctured, giving the surgical team immediate visual feedback. This system is particularly recommended in orthopedic, cardiovascular, and trauma procedures.
