What is the difference between latex powdered and powderfree examination gloves?

Powdered latex gloves use a cornstarch coating for easy donning but can carry allergy and airborne-particle concerns in clinical settings. Powderfree latex gloves use a polymer coating instead and are now the preferred standard in most hospitals.

What is the difference between nitrile and latex examination gloves?

Nitrile gloves are synthetic and latex-free, offering better puncture resistance and no latex-allergy risk. Latex gloves offer higher elasticity and comfort at a lower cost, and remain widely used where latex sensitivity isn't a concern.

Which regions does Medlora supply examination gloves to?

Medlora's core supply base is North Kerala, with an aggressive supply presence across Mid Kerala. Medlora also partially supplies hospitals and distributors in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. See Where We Supply for the full picture.
