Premium Disposable Gloves by MaiMed^®

Reliable. Versatile. Professional.

Disposable gloves for every application

Disposable gloves are an essential part of standard equipment in many sectors. Whether in healthcare, food processing, industry, laboratories or cleaning – it is crucial that the glove material is ideally suited to the specific application. Our disposable gloves offer reliable protection and help to ensure optimal hygiene standards in medical and care settings.

MaiMed offers a wide range of nitrile, latex, vinyl and PE gloves in a variety of sizes, thicknesses and colours. To help you make the right choice, here is a brief overview of the properties, benefits and recommended uses of the different materials.

Thanks to their versatile properties, nitrile gloves are the most popular disposable gloves in professional settings. They are free from latex proteins, making them ideal for people with latex allergies, and are also extremely comfortable to wear.

A wide range of colours for every application

Our nitrile gloves are available in a wide range of colours – from white, blue and black to green, pink, magenta, orange and blue-violet.
Perfect for colour-coding in the food industry, healthcare or laboratories.

Latex gloves are renowned for their exceptional elasticity and their ability to mould to the shape of the hand. They allow for precise work and are particularly comfortable to wear, which is why they are highly valued, particularly in the field of dentistry.

In addition to our standard natural colours, we also offer latex gloves in black and yellow.

Information on latex allergies
Latex contains natural proteins that can trigger allergic reactions. If you experience symptoms such as skin redness, itching or blistering, we recommend switching to nitrile gloves.

Vinyl  gloves have a pleasantly smooth surface and feel soft to touch. They are particularly suitable for short-term use and tasks involving direct skin contact, such as those commonly encountered in the care sector.

PE gloves (polyethylene) are the classic choice for tasks where the gloves are only worn for a short time. They are tasteless and odourless, making them particularly suitable for use in food-handling environments.

With powder or powder-free?

Which disposable gloves are the right choice?

MaiMed disposable gloves are mainly powder-free. We also offer powdered versions for specific applications.

Why are powdered disposable gloves hardly ever recommended these days?

Powdered disposable gloves are particularly easy to put on and take off, even with wet hands. This used to be a major advantage, before modern materials significantly improved their glide and fit. With the advancement of nitrile and latex technologies, powder-free gloves have increasingly taken over the market, as powdered versions pose various health and hygiene risks:

• When you take it off, the powder swirls into the air and can therefore be inhaled. This irritates the airways and mucous membranes.
• Latex gloves also significantly increase the risk of an allergic reaction: the powder binds latex proteins from the glove and releases them into the air when the gloves are removed. This can be particularly dangerous for people with a latex allergy and may trigger severe allergic reactions or cause anaphylactic shock.
• Furthermore, powder can cause significant soiling of surfaces, clothing and other materials.
• In hygiene-critical areas such as food processing, powdered gloves are problematic, as powder particles can get into products and compromise hygiene standards. For this reason, powder-free alternatives are used almost exclusively in these settings.

Choosing the right size for disposable gloves.

To ensure a secure fit, high comfort and precision when working, it is essential to choose disposable gloves in the correct size. Gloves that are too small are more likely to tear when putting them on or taking them off and increase the risk of the material being stretched. Gloves that are too large, on the other hand, slip, impairing tactile sensitivity and grip.
Both of these issues slow down work processes and can significantly impair the quality of medical, nursing or technical tasks.

How to choose the right glove size.

The classic and most reliable method is to measure the circumference of your hand.

To do this, place a flexible tape measure around the widest part of your hand. Measure the circumference of your hand at the knuckles, excluding the thumb.

You can then check the glove size you have determined against our table and purchase the disposable gloves that suit you from us. The size range of the disposable gloves we offer may vary depending on the material and variant. Overall, we offer all sizes from XS to XXL in various designs.

Please note that latex, nitrile, vinyl and PE/TPE/LLDPE have different levels of elasticity, which means that the fit may vary depending on the material.
