Nursing Home Supplies: Gloves, Underpads and Incontinence Products
Nursing home supplies for skilled nursing and assisted living: MXGUARD® gloves and Comfortia® incontinence and bathing products from one US supplier.
Key takeaways
- One order can cover the daily essentials: exam gloves, underpads, adult briefs, pull-ups, wipes and no-rinse bath sponges.
- Nitrile exam gloves are for resident care; vinyl gloves suit short, low-risk tasks such as meal service.
- Orders ship from the US, with pricing, MOQ and lead time confirmed for each facility or group.
Nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities and assisted living communities use the same core supplies every shift: gloves for staff, incontinence products for residents and bathing supplies for daily care. Hopemed Industries Inc supplies these nursing home supplies under two brands, MXGUARD® gloves and Comfortia® care products, so purchasing teams can consolidate orders with one US supplier.

Gloves for nursing homes: when staff wear them
Under CDC Standard Precautions, staff wear gloves when they expect contact with blood, body fluids, mucous membranes, broken skin or contaminated items. They change gloves between residents and between dirty and clean tasks, and clean their hands after taking gloves off. Keeping every glove size on each care cart makes that routine easier to follow.

Frequently asked questions
+What supplies does a nursing home need?
The daily essentials are disposable gloves, incontinence products (underpads, adult briefs with tabs and pull-up underwear), cleansing supplies such as wet wipes and no-rinse bath sponges, and linens and hygiene items. Hopemed supplies the gloves, incontinence and bathing products; clinical equipment and medications come from your medical suppliers.
+When should staff wear gloves in a nursing home?
Under CDC Standard Precautions, wear gloves whenever contact with blood, body fluids, mucous membranes, broken skin or contaminated equipment is expected, such as during incontinence care, wound care and handling soiled linen. Change gloves between residents and between tasks, and clean hands after removing them.
+How do nursing homes buy incontinence supplies in bulk?
Most buy through a distributor, a group purchasing organization or directly from a supplier on a standing monthly order. Hopemed sells Comfortia underpads, adult briefs, pull-ups and wipes by the case to facilities and distributors, with orders shipping from the US.
