Pick the gauge, not the guess
Thickness is the single decision that drives cost, dexterity and how long a glove survives the task. Here is the full TruGlove range — tap any gauge to compare.
Exam-grade feel, food-safe barrier
Tactile sensitivity
At 4 mil the film all but disappears — enough feel to seat a small part, find a pulse or work a fine instrument, with the barrier of a full nitrile glove.
Food-safe & exam-grade
Compliant for food contact and specified as exam grade, so one glove covers the clinic, the lab and the prep line.
Powder-free, latex-free
No cornstarch residue on instruments, samples or food, and no natural-rubber proteins — safe to standardize across staff and patients.
High-visibility blue
The clinical-standard blue makes tears, punctures and contamination easy to catch against skin and product.
One blue glove for the clinic, the lab and the prep line
The 4 mil blue nitrile is the workhorse of the exam and food-safe world. It is thin enough to preserve the tactile feedback fine work demands, yet it is a fully synthetic nitrile barrier — no latex proteins, no powder, and a true exam-grade fit. For most healthcare, laboratory and food-service operations it is the single highest-volume glove on the shelf.
Powder-free means no cornstarch transferring onto instruments, samples, food or a patient's skin. The ambidextrous, beaded-cuff design donates fast from a 100-count dispenser and rolls off cleanly at the wrist. The high-visibility blue is the clinical standard for a reason — a breach shows instantly.
Where it performs
Healthcare and dental exam rooms, clinical and research laboratories, food preparation and service, tattoo and body art, and any precision task where feel matters. Food-safe and latex-free construction makes it safe to standardize across a mixed team.
When the job turns to solvents, sharp edges or heavy mechanical wear, step up to the black industrial nitrile line — the 5.5 mil or 6.5 mil.
