Compare the current Huhtamaki range for medical, dental, aged-care, food-service, cleaning and industrial tasks. Glove suitability remains product-, procedure-, chemical- and workplace-specific.
| Work requirement | Recommended product | Format and sizing | Selection guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medical, Dental and Aged-Care Examination Tasks Blue nitrile · Non-sterile | Blue Nitrile Gloves Powder Free 100 Pack | 100 ambidextrous gloves per box. Current sizes: Small, Medium, Large, XL and XXL. Powder-free, latex-free, non-sterile, 4 mil, AQL 1.5 and micro-textured at the fingertips. | The current product page identifies these gloves for non-sterile patient examinations, dental clinics and aged-care surface cleaning. Before patient-care use, the healthcare or dental purchaser should confirm the exact supplied glove’s intended medical use, current ARTG inclusion and facility infection-control requirements. They are not described as sterile surgical or chemotherapy gloves. |
| High-Volume Medical, Dental and Clinical Supply Blue nitrile · 1000 carton | Blue Nitrile Gloves Powder Free Bulk Carton 1000 Pack | 10 dispenser boxes of 100 gloves. Current sizes: Small, Medium, Large, XL and XXL. Powder-free, latex-free, ambidextrous and textured for grip. | Suitable for facilities with predictable daily use, including medical centres, dental practices, aged-care services, pathology support areas and allied-health clinics, subject to verified medical-device documentation and local procurement policy. Select one size per carton and maintain adequate stock for glove changes between patients and tasks. |
| Food Handling, General Cleaning and Routine Commercial Work Blue nitrile · 100 pack | Blue Nitrile Gloves Powder Free 100 Pack | 100 gloves per box in Small through XXL. The blue colour gives strong visual contrast in food environments; the textured fingertips support grip during wet handling. | A versatile single-box option where fit, dexterity and frequent glove changes matter. AQL 1.5 is a manufacturing defect-quality measure; it does not by itself prove suitability for every chemical, clinical procedure or food-safety system. |
| Oily, Dirty and More Demanding Maintenance Tasks Black nitrile · Extra heavy duty | Black Nitrile Gloves Extra Heavy Duty 100 Pack | 100 ambidextrous gloves per box. Current sizes: Medium, Large and XL. Powder-free, latex-free, textured and approximately 5.5g per glove. | The thicker profile suits automotive, maintenance, industrial painting and demanding janitorial work where extra durability is useful. This listing is not positioned as a medical examination glove, and black colour does not indicate chemical, cut or needle protection. |
| Bulk Heavy-Duty Nitrile Supply Black nitrile · 1000 carton | Extra Heavy-Duty Black Nitrile Gloves 1000 Carton | 10 boxes of 100 gloves. Current sizes: Medium, Large and XL. Extra-thick, powder-free and latex-free construction. | Best for workshops, maintenance teams and cleaning contractors with repeat heavy-duty usage. Confirm the required size and chemical compatibility before ordering; the carton format does not change the glove’s intended use. |
| Light-Duty Healthcare Support, Food Service and General Use Clear vinyl · 1000 carton | Clear Vinyl Gloves Powder Free Carton 10 × 100 | 1000 gloves supplied as 10 boxes of 100. Current sizes: Small, Medium, Large and XL. Powder-free, ambidextrous and non-sterile. | A cost-conscious option for food service, reception, housekeeping and other short, lower-risk tasks where frequent changes are needed. Vinyl is generally less form-fitting and less puncture-resistant than nitrile. For patient examinations or disease-prevention claims, verify the exact glove’s medical-device status and local clinical policy. |
| Aged-Care Support, Nursing-Home Housekeeping and Light Cleaning Blue vinyl · 100 pack | Blue Vinyl Gloves Powder Free 100 Pack | 100 ambidextrous gloves per box. Current sizes: Medium, Large and XL. Powder-free vinyl with reinforced cuffs. | Useful for short food-service, housekeeping and low-risk care-support tasks where blue visibility is helpful. Do not treat a general vinyl glove as interchangeable with a verified nitrile examination glove for dental, medical or body-fluid exposure without procurement and infection-control approval. |
| Fast Glove Changes for Short Food-Handling Tasks PE · 500 box | PE Polyethylene Food-Safe Gloves 500 Box | 500 loose-fit, single-use PE gloves. One size fits most. | Designed for quick on-and-off use during short food-preparation and serving tasks. The loose PE design prioritises speed and value rather than close dexterity, puncture resistance, clinical examination or chemical protection. |
Medical and dental procurement: in Australia, gloves supplied for a therapeutic purpose are regulated as medical devices and must be included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods. Confirm the exact product, sponsor, ARTG entry, labelling and intended use before use in patient care. See the TGA personal protective equipment guidance.
Nitrile, Vinyl and Disposable Glove FAQs
Medical, dental, aged-care, food-service, cleaning and workplace guidance for selecting and using disposable gloves.
Q. Are the blue nitrile gloves suitable for medical and dental use?
A. The current blue nitrile glove listing identifies the product for non-sterile patient examinations, dental clinics and clinical environments. Medical and dental purchasers should still verify the exact supplied glove’s intended medical use, current ARTG inclusion, sponsor information, packaging and facility procurement policy before patient-care use. Product colour, nitrile material or AQL 1.5 alone does not establish Australian medical-device approval.
Q. Are these gloves sterile surgical gloves?
A. No. The blue nitrile product page describes them as non-sterile, single-use gloves. They should not be substituted for sterile surgical gloves where a sterile field is required. They are also not identified as chemotherapy-tested gloves. Select the glove class required by the procedure, exposure and healthcare protocol.
Q. Which disposable glove is the best fit for a dental practice?
A. For routine non-sterile examinations and many chairside tasks, a correctly sized, verified medical examination glove such as the listed blue nitrile option may offer good dexterity, fingertip grip and latex-free construction. Dental practices must confirm ARTG status and intended use, change gloves between patients and tasks, and use sterile surgical gloves whenever the procedure requires sterility.
Q. Can these gloves be used where blood or body-fluid exposure is possible?
A. Only use an examination glove whose medical intended use, regulatory documentation and facility policy cover the task. Check glove integrity before use, change it immediately after contamination, damage or a patient-care activity, and perform hand hygiene before donning and after removal. Gloves reduce exposure risk but do not replace sharps controls, hand hygiene or other infection-prevention measures.
Q. What does AQL 1.5 mean on the blue nitrile gloves?
A. AQL is a manufacturing quality measure used when sampling gloves for defects such as pinholes. A lower AQL indicates tighter defect acceptance. It does not independently prove sterility, chemical resistance, suitability for every medical procedure or inclusion in the ARTG, so buyers should assess the complete product documentation.
Q. What is the difference between nitrile, vinyl and PE gloves?
A. Nitrile generally offers a closer fit, stronger puncture resistance and better dexterity than vinyl, making it useful for clinical, dental, cleaning and maintenance work when the exact glove is approved for the task. Vinyl is a cost-effective choice for shorter, lower-risk duties and frequent changes. Loose-fit PE gloves are intended for rapid changes during short food-handling tasks rather than clinical examination or chemical protection.
Q. Can vinyl gloves be used in healthcare or aged care?
A. Vinyl gloves may suit housekeeping, food service and some short, lower-risk support tasks when accepted by the facility’s infection-control policy. They should not automatically replace a verified nitrile examination glove for patient examinations, dental procedures or body-fluid exposure because fit, durability, barrier performance and regulatory intended use can differ.
Q. Are nitrile gloves resistant to every cleaning or dental chemical?
A. No. Suitability depends on the exact chemical, concentration, exposure time, glove formulation and thickness. Review the chemical label and safety data sheet, consult the glove manufacturer’s compatibility information and replace the glove immediately if it becomes damaged, swollen, softened or contaminated. Dental disinfectants, instrument cleaners and laboratory chemicals may require different glove specifications.
Q. Are disposable gloves suitable for food handling?
A. Use products identified for food handling, such as the listed blue nitrile, blue vinyl, clear vinyl and PE options. Wash and dry hands before donning, use a fresh pair for each task and change gloves when moving between raw and ready-to-eat food, after touching contaminated surfaces, or when a glove is torn or dirty. Gloves do not replace handwashing.
Q. Can disposable gloves be washed, sanitised or reused?
A. No. These are single-use gloves. Washing or sanitising can damage the material without reliably removing contamination. Remove them without touching the contaminated outer surface, dispose of them under the workplace procedure and perform hand hygiene before the next task or patient.
Q. How do I choose the correct glove size?
A. Choose a size that fits closely without excessive stretching, loose fingertips or bunching across the palm. A glove that is too tight may tear and cause fatigue, while an oversized glove reduces tactile control. This is particularly important for dental instruments, examination work and wet cleaning. Check the available size range on each product page before ordering cartons.
Q. What do powder-free and latex-free mean?
A. Powder-free means the glove does not use loose donning powder that can transfer to hands, instruments, food or surfaces. Latex-free nitrile and vinyl gloves avoid natural-rubber latex exposure, but users can still react to other glove ingredients. Stop use and follow workplace health procedures if irritation develops.
Q. What should a medical or dental buyer verify before ordering?
A. Confirm the exact product name and manufacturer, sponsor, ARTG inclusion, medical intended use, non-sterile or sterile status, size range, AQL, material, packaging and any procedure-specific requirements. The TGA states that PPE supplied for a therapeutic purpose must be included in the ARTG. See the TGA PPE guidance and retain supplier documentation for procurement records.
Q. Can Melbourne customers collect orders, and do you ship Australia-wide?
A. Yes. Janitorial Depot is located at Unit 2/44 Whitfield Boulevard, Cranbourne West, Victoria, with pickup and local Melbourne delivery options. Disposable-glove orders can also be shipped across Australia subject to stock, parcel size, weight, destination and the current shipping policy.
