Handcare Medical Examination Gloves – Trusted Medical Gloves in Kenya

Overview

Handcare medical examination gloves are essential single-use gloves designed to protect healthcare workers and patients during medical examinations and procedures. They act as a critical barrier against the transmission of infectious agents, helping to maintain infection control in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and healthcare facilities across Kenya.

At Bekam Orbit, we offer a wide range of Handcare medical examination gloves to meet the varied needs of healthcare professionals — from powdered latex gloves to powder-free nitrile options — ensuring safety, comfort, and reliability.

Why Choose Handcare Medical Examination Gloves?

• Infection Control: These gloves help prevent the spread of microorganisms between patients and healthcare providers, reducing healthcare-associated infections.
• Material Variety: Handcare gloves come in multiple materials, including natural latex, nitrile, and vinyl — allowing you to choose based on allergy considerations, comfort, and durability.
• Powdered and Powder-Free Options: We stock both powdered latex gloves that offer easier donning and powder-free gloves designed for allergy-sensitive environments.
• Regulated Quality: Compliant with international medical safety standards and regulated as Class I medical devices, guaranteeing dependable protection.
• Comfort and Dexterity: Designed for tactile sensitivity and dexterity, Handcare gloves allow precise handling for delicate medical tasks.

Types of Handcare Medical Examination Gloves Available in Nairobi and Kenya

1. Powdered Latex Medical Examination Gloves

Made from natural rubber latex (NRL) harvested from Hevea brasiliensis rubber trees, these gloves are coated with a fine cornstarch powder on the inside. The powder reduces moisture, making them easier to put on and remove, which in turn minimizes the risk of tearing.

Ideal for: Healthcare settings where ease of use and dexterity are critical, but not recommended in environments sensitive to latex allergies or powder contamination.

Applications:

• Medical examinations
• Patient care
• Non-sterile procedures

Note: Powdered latex gloves have become less common in some healthcare environments due to allergy concerns, but they remain popular in janitorial, food handling, and other non-medical industries.

2. Powder-Free Latex Medical Examination Gloves

These gloves do not have the powder coating and are often treated chemically (e.g., chlorine treatment) to reduce latex proteins and ease donning. Powder-free gloves reduce the risk of allergic reactions and airborne contamination.

Ideal for: Sensitive healthcare environments requiring minimal allergenic exposure.

3. Powder-Free Nitrile Medical Examination Gloves

Made from synthetic rubber, nitrile gloves are a preferred alternative to latex gloves because they:

• They are latex-free, reducing allergy risks
• Offer superior resistance to punctures, tears, and chemicals
• Provide excellent comfort and flexibility
• Often have textured fingertips for better grip
• They are powder-free, making them safer for sterile environments

Applications:

• Hospitals and clinics
• Laboratories
• Food handling and processing
• Industrial use
