Curad Nitrile Exam Gloves, 150 Count, Full Texture, Powder-Free

Curad Nitrile Exam Gloves — 150 Count, 4.9 Mil, Full Texture, ASTM D6978

Curad is a Medline Industries brand with decades of presence in pharmacy, grocery, and retail healthcare. The Curad nitrile exam gloves bring that brand recognition to the professional buyer: FDA-cleared exam-grade protection in a name already trusted by nursing homes, home health agencies, dialysis centers, and outpatient clinics that source from retail channels.

These are powder-free, latex-free, 100% nitrile exam gloves cleared for medical examination use. The Curad branding makes them an easy transition for facilities converting from latex or for buyers who need a name their staff already trusts. At 4.9 mil finger thickness, these sit above standard 3–4 mil exam nitrile — more durable than commodity alternatives like MedPride (3 mil), and thicker than the Inspire Cobalt Blue (4.5 mil). The full-texture surface adds grip for procedure work. The CUR93xx line carries ASTM D6978 chemical permeation resistance, making these suitable for hazardous drug handling environments alongside the Kimtech Purple and SHOWA 6110PF.

For chemo-cleared institutional use, see the Kimtech Purple (5.9 mil, ASTM D6978). For biodegradable and fentanyl-resistant, see the SHOWA 6110PF. For heavy industrial, see GLOVEWORKS HD Orange (8 mil).

Curad Nitrile in Healthcare Settings

Curad’s position as a retail pharmacy brand translates into procurement advantages: nursing home supply coordinators know it from Walgreens, home health aides recognize it from CVS, and small clinics can order it through the same channels as their retail health supplies. For facilities that need an exam-grade nitrile without navigating a new vendor relationship, Curad provides a familiar entry point.

These gloves meet FDA 510(k) medical exam clearance and are appropriate for clinical examination, specimen handling, dental procedures, and patient care activities. Pair with ANSI Z87.1 eye protection for splash-risk procedures and respiratory protection for aerosolized biohazard environments.
