Two terms matter most when choosing exam gloves. "Medical-grade" means a glove has been cleared by the FDA for medical use, held to a higher standard than a general-purpose glove. "AQL," or Acceptable Quality Level, measures the allowable rate of pinhole defects in a batch, the lower the number, the fewer defects, so an AQL of 1.5 is the common benchmark for medical exam gloves. Together they are the difference between a glove that looks the part and one with the testing to prove it. We are glad to walk you through what any spec sheet means for your facility.
A medical exam glove has been cleared by the FDA for medical use and tested to a defined quality standard, including its AQL, the allowable rate of pinhole defects. General-purpose gloves are not held to that standard. When you order medical exam gloves from us, the spec sheet shows the clearances and ratings so your compliance team can confirm they meet your requirements.
Yes. We carry exam-grade nitrile gloves that are completely latex-free, the standard choice for facilities managing latex allergies among staff or patients. We also carry latex exam gloves where preferred. Tell us your needs and we will point you to the right option.
AQL stands for Acceptable Quality Level, the allowable rate of pinhole defects in a batch of gloves. A lower number means fewer defects and a more reliable barrier. AQL 1.5 is a common benchmark for medical exam gloves, and we list the AQL on the spec sheet so you can verify it.
