The Aurelia Protégé 9399 nitrile, powder-free, disposable glove is made from stretch nitrile and is textured along the length of the fingers for improved grip compared to a glove with textured fingertips. The glove has a palm thickness of 4 mils and a finger thickness of 5.2 mils, and is 9.5" long from the tip of the middle finger to the edge of the beaded wrist cuff, which is 2 mils thick. Nitrile provides better elasticity than vinyl, better puncture resistance than latex or vinyl, better abrasion resistance than chloroprene, and reduces the likelihood of allergic reaction. This powder-free glove leaves no residue, reducing the risk of contamination compared to a powdered glove. This ambidextrous blue glove is suitable for dental and medical examination applications.

Tensile strength, measured in MPa, is the amount of force required to rip a glove; the higher the number, the stronger the glove material. Elongation measures how much a glove can be stretched before it breaks. It is expressed as a percent of the original length of the glove at the moment of breakage; the higher the percent, the more the glove can stretch. AQL is an FDA quality specification for the defect rate in surgical an
