Chemo Tested Nitrile Examination Gloves Made in South Carolina
These gloves are molded from nitrile butadiene rubber, so they deliver a dependable barrier without natural rubber latex anywhere in the material. The line is FDA 510(k) cleared and built to ASTM D6319-19, with tensile strength and elongation above the standard’s minimum values before and after aging. Quality sampling follows ISO 2859-1 with a pinhole AQL of 2.5 or tighter, and production runs under cGMP in accordance with 21 CFR Part 820. The intended use covers medical examination work where glove powder should be avoided, including settings that handle chemotherapy drugs and fentanyl. Two colors let a facility assign black or blue by department, task or preference without changing glove platforms.

Why Choose Nephron Nitrile Exam Gloves from MedicalEx?
Most exam gloves are imported private labels, and these are not, because the brand on the box owns the plant that makes them. That shows up in a published specification for every size and color, chemo and fentanyl testing on the actual product, and a supply chain that starts in South Carolina instead of at a container port.
- A barrier tested for the hard cases – chemotherapy drug, fentanyl and gastric acid testing covers exposures ordinary exam gloves are never tested for
- Two colors, one platform – stocking black and blue on one specification simplifies reordering across departments
- Made by the brand owner in the USA – manufactured at the maker’s own South Carolina plant, unlike imported private label gloves
