Latex gloves come in many different forms. Because plumbers often work in environments with hi-risk exposure to blood borne pathogens and viruses, we are supplying two different kinds of hi-risk latex gloves that provide protection against these infectious diseases. This new product line, supplied by FirstLine, is put through stringent testing on a lot-by-lot basis to ensure their superior quality. Tests include bacteriophage penetration resistance and watertight testing. This is most critical because diseases present in sewage can pass through pinholes in gloves not even detectable by the naked eye. These gloves are also polymer coated on the inside and outside, the latest technology to reduce latex allergies and provide a longer shelf life. They are thicker than basic exam gloves making them more puncture resistant and less likely to tear. |
