Pros & cons

Specifications

What these gloves are for

High-volume clinical, healthcare, and lab work where you change gloves often and want a dependable exam glove at a low cost per pair — plus food handling and general cleaning. They are ranked in our nitrile exam gloves guide and, for everyday household use, our nitrile gloves for cleaning guide. The material background is in our nitrile gloves complete guide and nitrile vs latex gloves.

Compatibility

Vista is chemo-tested per ASTM D6978, but as the value tier it is not rated to USP 800 — for compounding and the highest chemical protection, step up to the Kimtech Polaris, and for sustained chemical immersion use a dedicated chemical-resistant glove. The powder-free build is covered in our powdered vs. powder-free nitrile gloves guide.

How Vista compares

Within Kimtech, Vista is the value tier: the Polaris is the premium 5.9 mil, chemo/USP 800 glove, the Sterling is the classic thin exam glove, and the Purple Nitrile is the lab standby. For another blue exam option, compare the Inspire Cobalt Blue, or the purple Halyard Purple. Browse the full nitrile gloves collection and the wider hand protection range organized by grade, thickness, and use.

Safety note: nitrile is not made with latex, so Vista suits workers with a latex allergy — but as a value 4.3 mil exam glove it is built for clinical and light tasks, not heavy labor or sustained chemical exposure. The chemotherapy testing is a benchmark, not a guarantee; follow your facility's protocol, change gloves on your program's schedule, and step up a tier where your task demands more protection.

Ordering FAQ

Is Kimtech Vista in stock and ready to ship?
Availability changes — open the linked listing for live price, size and count options, and delivery speed before you order.

How thick are they?
4.3 mil — a comfortable everyday exam-glove weight. It is thinner than the 5.9 mil Kimtech Polaris, trading some barrier for a lower cost per glove and better tactile feel for high-volume tasks.

How many gloves are in a box?
200 gloves (100 pairs) per box, with a 2000-glove case option. The high count is part of why Vista is the value tier — a lower cost per glove for clinics and labs that go through a lot.

What is the beaded cuff for?
A beaded (rolled) cuff edge resists rolling down during use and makes the glove faster to don, which matters when you change gloves many times a shift — browse other options in the hand protection range.

Are they chemo-tested?
Yes — Vista is tested for use with chemotherapy drugs per ASTM D6978. Note it is the value tier; for USP 800 compounding and the highest chemical protection, the Kimtech Polaris is the step up.

Are they food-safe?
Yes — Vista meets FDA food-contact requirements under 21 CFR 177.2600, so it is cleared for food handling as well as clinical and lab use; see our nitrile gloves for food service guide.

Are they powder-free and latex-free?
Yes — powder-free and not made with natural rubber latex, so there is no powder residue and no natural-latex proteins.

What is AQL 1.5?
AQL is the acceptable pinhole/defect rate; a lower number means fewer flaws. At AQL 1.5 Vista beats the general ASTM exam standard, though the premium Polaris goes further at AQL 0.65.

Do they grip well?
Yes — textured fingertips improve wet and dry grip for fine motor tasks, and reviewers note they resist tearing better than cheaper clinic-supplied gloves.

Are they sterile?
No — these are non-sterile exam gloves, ranked among our best nitrile exam gloves. For sterile procedures, choose a glove specifically labeled sterile.

Can they be recycled?
Yes — non-hazardous Vista gloves can be diverted from landfill through Kimberly-Clark's RightCycle program, which is rare for a disposable glove.

How do I reorder for a clinic or lab?
