Vinyl disposable gloves are not as strong and durable as latex when it comes to puncture resistance and therefore should not be used for higher risk medical purposes or when dealing with hazardous substances. Vinyl provides a good barrier for low-risk procedures (body fluids/drainage bag, body hygiene/washing, laundry, general housekeeping) and because they are latex free and chemical accelerator free, are a good alternative for those with type I and type IV skin allergies.
