Latex Glove Color Options
When it comes to disposable gloves, it should come as no surprise that there are many colors available. Many industries use colored gloves as part of a color coding strategy for safety and compliance. Color coding is a best practice adopted by both industrial and medical industries. Color coded gloves can help to differentiate sizing, help to prevent cross contamination or help to designate a type of glove material like latex versus nitrile.

Color Coding in Industrial Applications
For instance, in industrial applications like food processing, blue gloves may be used for poultry and green gloves for vegetables to help the compliance of food processing workers. However, in the medical industry, ivory or white gloves are considered the industry standard which helps to differentiate them from nitrile exam gloves which are typically blue.

Color Coding in Medical Applications
In medical settings color coding can help health care workers differentiate glove materials such as latex versus nitrile. Typically latex exam gloves are a neutral color, like ivory or cream, while nitrile exam gloves are a contrasting color, like purple or blue. This strategy allows hospitals to easily educate their healthcare workers on which exam glove to use depending on the situation.

Pidegree Group color coded disposable latex exam gloves are trusted by the most prominent end users including; healthcare, dental, pharmaceutical, first responders, veterinarian, and biotech.
