MediGuard ES gloves are offered in multiple sizes. Available options should be confirmed on the product page before ordering.

The packaging uses color-coded sizing to help staff locate the desired size quickly.

They should fit securely without restricting finger movement. Gloves that are too tight may tear more easily, while oversized gloves can reduce control.

They may be used for appropriate nonsterile dental examinations and routine tasks. Follow the facility’s infection-control policies and procedure requirements.

They may be suitable for general laboratory tasks, but users must review the glove’s chemical-resistance data before handling hazardous substances.

Do not use these gloves for chemotherapy drugs unless the selected model is specifically tested and labeled for that purpose.

No. Chemical resistance varies by substance, concentration, temperature, and contact time. Review Medline’s compatibility information before use.

Store them in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, and ozone-producing equipment.

Change them between patients and tasks, after contact with contamination, and immediately if they become torn, punctured, or visibly soiled.

Remove them using an appropriate glove-removal technique to avoid touching the contaminated outer surface, then perform hand hygiene.

They are suited for physician offices, clinics, dental practices, laboratories, long-term care facilities, home healthcare, and other appropriate professional environments.

They may be used for light cleaning tasks when compatible with the cleaning product. Check the chemical label and glove-resistance information first.

They may serve as PPE for appropriate tasks, but suitability depends on the specific hazard and workplace requirements. Always follow the product label and safety protocols.

Verify the glove size, quantity, color, thickness, latex information, and any required certifications or testing for the intended application.
