Medical grade AQL 1.5 blue powder-free nitrile disposable gloves for medical support, food handling, construction, and general hygiene applications where contamination control and a reliable latex-free barrier are the primary requirements.
Medical grade AQL 1.5 blue powder-free nitrile disposable gloves for medical support, food handling, construction, and general hygiene applications where contamination control and a reliable latex-free barrier are the primary requirements.
Medical grade AQL 1.5 blue powder-free nitrile disposable gloves for healthcare support, food processing, food handling, construction, and general hygiene applications where contamination control, a reliable latex-free barrier, and consistent glove integrity are the primary requirements. At AQL 1.5, these gloves meet the tighter acceptance quality limit used in examination and healthcare environments, providing greater confidence in glove integrity compared to the AQL 4.0 standard used in most industrial disposable gloves. Powder-free construction eliminates contamination risk across food, medical, and precision environments. Textured palms and fingertips maintain grip in wet and oily conditions. CE marked. Supplied in a box of 100 gloves.
AQL stands for Acceptance Quality Limit, the maximum acceptable percentage of defective gloves in a batch before the batch is rejected. AQL 4.0, the standard used in most industrial disposable gloves, permits up to 4 defective gloves per 100 before the batch fails quality control. AQL 1.5 permits only 1.5 per 100, meaning these gloves are manufactured and tested to a significantly tighter standard. In hygiene-critical environments including food processing, healthcare support, and laboratory tasks, that tighter standard provides greater confidence that every glove in the box meets the required barrier integrity. For construction and industrial buyers who want the reassurance of a medical grade standard across a site where hygiene control is a priority, AQL 1.5 is the meaningful differentiator over standard industrial grade alternatives.

These gloves are used by healthcare support staff, food processing operatives, construction and site operatives, janitorial staff, and general industrial workers who need a medical grade AQL 1.5 powder-free blue nitrile disposable glove for hygiene-critical contamination control tasks. The AQL 1.5 rating makes them the appropriate choice where tighter glove integrity standards are required than standard industrial AQL 4.0 alternatives. The latex-free nitrile construction makes them suitable for latex-sensitive operatives across all sectors.
Healthcare support and non-sterile examination tasks where medical grade AQL 1.5 glove integrity is required alongside latex-free construction.
Food handling and food preparation tasks where a powder-free nitrile glove provides hygiene control and contamination prevention without powder residue risk.
Construction site inspection, finishing, and welfare tasks where a medical grade disposable glove provides hygiene control alongside tactile sensitivity.
Janitorial and cleaning tasks in hygiene-priority environments where an examination grade powder-free glove is specified.
Laboratory and pharmaceutical support tasks requiring a medical grade powder-free nitrile barrier glove.
General industrial tasks where hygiene control and contamination prevention are primary requirements and a tighter AQL standard is specified.
Step 1: Select the correct size. Size 7 (Small), 8 (Medium), 9 (Large), 10 (X-Large). Pull fully over the hand ensuring all fingers are fully seated before beginning the task.
Step 2: Check the beaded cuff is seated flat at the wrist. The beaded cuff prevents liquid rollback during handling and examination tasks.
Step 3: Inspect for tears or defects before use. Do not use a glove showing visible damage or deterioration.
Step 4: Dispose of after each use or task change. Do not wash or reuse.
Step 5: Store unused gloves in original packaging in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme heat.
Using for sterile procedures: These are non-sterile gloves. They must not be used for sterile surgical or medical procedures where sterile gloves are required by the clinical protocol.
Reusing after contamination: These are single-use disposable gloves. Dispose after each use and replace with a fresh glove before beginning a new task.
Using for cut-hazard tasks: These gloves are not cut-resistant rated. Do not use for tasks involving sharp blades, sheet metal, or rebar where a rated cut-resistant glove is required.
Incorrect size selection: An oversized examination glove reduces tactile sensitivity significantly. Select the correct size for the best fit and examination performance.
Assuming powder-free means latex-free: These gloves are both powder-free and latex-free. However the two properties are independent, always confirm both when specifying for latex-sensitive operatives or powder-free environments.
These are non-sterile single-use examination gloves. They must not be used for sterile medical or surgical procedures. They are not cut-resistant rated and must not be used for cut-hazard tasks. They are latex-free and suitable for operatives with latex sensitivity. CE marked for UK and European market compliance. Dispose of in accordance with local waste regulations applicable to the contamination type.
Single-use disposable gloves. Do not wash, dry, or reuse. Dispose in accordance with local waste regulations. For healthcare environments, dispose in accordance with the waste classification applicable to the contamination. Store unused gloves in original packaging in dry conditions away from direct sunlight and extreme heat.
Q: What is the difference between AQL 1.5 and AQL 4.0 nitrile gloves?
A: AQL stands for Acceptance Quality Limit, the maximum acceptable percentage of defective gloves in a production batch before the batch is rejected. AQL 4.0 permits up to 4 defective gloves per 100, which is the standard for most industrial disposable gloves. AQL 1.5 permits only 1.5 per 100, meaning every batch is tested to a significantly tighter standard before release. For hygiene-critical applications in healthcare support, food processing, and laboratory environments, AQL 1.5 provides greater confidence in glove integrity across the full box.
Q: Are these gloves suitable for latex-sensitive operatives?
A: Yes. These gloves are manufactured from nitrile and contain no natural rubber latex. They are a suitable alternative to latex examination gloves for operatives with a confirmed or suspected latex sensitivity.
Q: Are these gloves sterile?
A: No. These are non-sterile single-use examination gloves. They must not be used for sterile surgical or medical procedures where sterile gloves are required by the clinical protocol.
Q: What is this glove NOT suitable for?
A: These gloves are not suitable for sterile medical or surgical procedures. They are not cut-resistant rated and must not be used for tasks involving sharp blades, sheet metal, or rebar. They must not be washed or reused after use or contamination.
Q: Why choose a medical grade AQL 1.5 glove for construction and industrial tasks?
A: On construction sites and in industrial environments where hygiene control is a priority, food preparation areas, welfare facilities, first aid tasks, and inspection work, an AQL 1.5 medical grade glove provides greater confidence in barrier integrity than a standard industrial AQL 4.0 alternative. For procurement teams with a single glove specification covering both industrial and hygiene-critical tasks, the AQL 1.5 covers both applications in one product.
Q: How quickly can I get these gloves delivered to site?
