It is not just a "thicker version" of regular examination gloves — it is a sterile glove specifically designed for surgery.
It is hand-specific (right and left), strictly designed according to hand anatomy, providing a better fit in the thumb web space, fingertips, and palm. After long surgeries, your fingers won’t feel twisted or fatigued.

5 Key Features for B2B Buyers
1. Anatomically Correct, Hand-Specific Fit
This is a core technical feature of surgical gloves. Left and right gloves are made with separate molds, with the thumb web space and fingertip curves designed according to hand anatomy. Buyers should note: some low-price surgical gloves claim to be hand-specific, but mold precision is poor, resulting in poor fit. We conduct dimensional testing on every batch, with left and right tolerances controlled within±2mm.
2. Extended Cuff + Beaded Cuff for Anti-Slip
Length: 290mm, which is 3–5cm longer than standard examination gloves. The cuff features a beaded cuff design to prevent slipping when worn over surgical gown sleeves. This structure has clear testing requirements under EN455.
3. Superior Mechanical Performance
Surgical gloves have higher requirements for tensile strength and elongation after aging compared to examination gloves. We perform tensile strength tests (before aging≥24MPa, after aging≥18MPa) and elongation at break tests (before aging≥750%, after aging≥650%) on every batch, with test reports included in each shipment.
4. Micro-Roughened Surface Finish
The surface is chlorinated to achieve a micro-roughened texture, maintaining a stable coefficient of friction even when wet or bloodied. It is not a particulate textured surface, but a finer anti-slip treatment that will not interfere with delicate tissue handling.
5. Half-Size Increments, Full Size Range
Sizes range from 5.5 to 9.0 in half-size increments. Each size is independently packaged for left and right hands. Operating rooms can stock different sizes for the lead surgeon, first assistant, and second assistant, reducing inventory waste.

FAQ–Most Common Buyer Questions
Q1: What is the difference between purchasing surgical gloves and examination gloves?
Examination gloves are ambidextrous and comply with ASTM D6319. Surgical gloves are hand-specific and comply with ASTM D3577, with higher mechanical requirements. Choose based on actual use scenarios.
Q2: How to stock gloves in bulk?
Typical stock ratio: 7.0 (30%), 7.5 (40%), 8.0 (20%), other sizes (10%). It is recommended to request samples first to confirm hand size distribution of lead surgeons.
Q3: Can the sterilization method be specified?
Yes. Standard is EO sterilization. If the destination country has EO residue requirements (e.g., some European countries), we can switch to gamma irradiation. Sterilization reports are available for both methods.
Q4: Can people with latex allergy use these gloves?
No. This is a natural latex product containing latex proteins. People with latex allergy should use nitrile surgical gloves.
Q5: What is the shelf life?
3-5 years after sterilization, printed on each carton. After expiration, sterility cannot be guaranteed--not recommended for surgical use.
Q6: Do you support small-batch purchases?
Yes. Minimum order quantity can be as low as [actual MOQ] cartons, suitable for trial orders before long-term cooperation.
