MXGUARD® 3.5 g medical nitrile gloves: the lightweight blue exam glove in our range for routine exams, dental appointments and high-change care tasks.

Frequently asked questions
+What thickness are medical grade nitrile gloves?
Medical exam gloves are specified by single-wall thickness at the finger, palm and cuff, plus weight per glove. This MXGUARD 3.5 g glove lists 0.09 mm (about 3.5 mil) at the finger, 0.06 mm (about 2.4 mil) at the palm and 0.05 mm (about 2.0 mil) at the cuff. For comparison, the 4.0 g glove lists 0.11 mm (about 4.3 mil) at the finger.
+Are medical nitrile gloves safe for food handling?
This 3.5 g glove lists EN 1186, the EU food-contact standard, but not 21 CFR 177.2600. For US food service, the MXGUARD 3.0 g food service glove lists both. Ask us if you need food-contact documents for the 3.5 g glove.
+3.5 g vs 4.0 g nitrile gloves: which should a clinic stock?
Stock 3.5 g for short, routine tasks with frequent glove changes, where a lighter glove is enough. Stock 4.0 g as the everyday exam glove when staff want more material between hand and patient, for example in wound care or longer procedures. Many clinics keep both and assign them by task.
+Are these gloves latex free and powder free?
Yes. Every MXGUARD nitrile glove, including the 3.5 g weight, is latex-free and powder-free.
