Disposable & Medical Gloves – Essential Protection for Every Healthcare Setting

Disposable gloves play a crucial role in protecting both healthcare professionals and patients from contamination and infection. From hospitals and aged care facilities to dental clinics and laboratories, the right medical gloves ensure clean, safe, and confident handling of every task.

At ToBe Healthcare, we provide a wide range of medical-grade disposable gloves designed for every level of protection — trusted by professionals across Australia for their comfort, durability, and reliability.

Types of Disposable & Medical Gloves

Different applications require different types of gloves. Each material offers unique benefits suited to specific healthcare and workplace needs.

• Latex Gloves
  Made from natural rubber, latex gloves offer excellent flexibility, comfort, and tactile sensitivity. They are ideal for tasks requiring precision, such as medical examinations and dental procedures. However, they may not be suitable for users with latex allergies.

• Nitrile Gloves
  Nitrile gloves are made from synthetic rubber and provide superior puncture and chemical resistance. They are latex-free, making them a preferred choice for people with sensitivities. Commonly used in hospitals, laboratories, and cleaning industries, nitrile gloves deliver both durability and comfort.

• Vinyl Gloves
  Vinyl gloves are made from PVC material, offering a cost-effective solution for short-term or low-risk procedures. While less elastic than latex or nitrile, they provide reliable barrier protection for tasks such as food handling, general cleaning, and non-invasive patient care.

• Polychloroprene Gloves
  Also known as neoprene gloves, these are made from synthetic rubber and combine the comfort of latex with the strength of nitrile. They provide excellent flexibility, chemical resistance, and sensitivity — ideal for surgical and laboratory settings.

• TPE Gloves (Thermoplastic Elastomer Gloves)
  Lightweight and affordable, TPE gloves are an eco-friendly alternative to vinyl. They are latex- and powder-free, suitable for food preparation, beauty, and general hygiene tasks. TPE gloves offer good stretchability and comfort for short-duration use.

• Biodegradable Gloves
  Designed for sustainability, biodegradable gloves maintain the same protection and performance standards while breaking down faster in the environment. They’re an excellent choice for facilities aiming to reduce their ecological footprint without compromising safety.

Selecting the right type of disposable examination glove ensures optimal protection, comfort, and performance for every clinical or workplace application.
