Kimtech Polaris Nitrile Exam Gloves

Kimtech Polaris Nitrile Exam Gloves

Kimtech Polaris by Kimberly-Clark Professional delivers exam-grade nitrile gloves built for life sciences, pharmaceutical compounding, laboratory research, and clinical environments. Available in two configurations — the standard Polaris 5.9-Mil (100-count box, 9.5" length) and the extended Polaris Xtra 7.5-Mil (50-count box, 12" length) — both feature ambidextrous fit, textured fingertips for dry and wet grip, and compliance with USP 800 chemotherapy handling guidelines. Powder-free and latex-free, they meet FDA food contact requirements under 21 CFR 177.2600.

Chemotherapy & USP 800 Rated

Kimtech Polaris gloves are tested for use with Fentanyl and 24 chemotherapy drugs, making them a recognized choice for pharmacies and oncology compounding labs that must meet USP 797 and USP 800 requirements for non-sterile compounding. The 5.9-mil standard glove meets ASTM AQL 0.65 — exceeding the ASTM AQL 2.5 standard for critical defects — while the 7.5-mil Xtra adds additional thickness and extended wrist coverage for higher-hazard applications. For general industrial nitrile alternatives, see our nitrile gloves collection or the Venom Steel 6-mil industrial gloves.

RightCycle Sustainability Program

100% of non-hazardous Kimtech Polaris gloves are eligible for diversion from landfill through the RightCycle Program by Kimberly-Clark Professional, making these a preferred choice for facilities with sustainability commitments or zero-landfill goals. This is a differentiator compared to standard disposable nitrile gloves that have no end-of-life program.
