Frequently Asked Questions

It is not recommended that you wear vinyl gloves if you may find yourself coming in contact with blood. The material has been proven to be impermeable to blood borne pathogens, including viruses. However, because the vinyl film is weaker compared to latex and nitrile it does have a higher chance of tearing during use and does not provide a close fit to the hand. Therefore, it is not advisable to use vinyl gloves in situations where there is contact with blood and that a stronger glove that fits closely to the hand such as latex or nitrile is used.
