Patterson Chloroprene Black Examination Gloves offer wearers a comfortable feel and exceptional tactile sensitivity during everyday dental procedures
While every dental professional has their own preference when it comes to glove fit, thickness, and material, when a dentist and a hygienist donned the Patterson Chloroprene Black Examination Glove, they found common ground with several of the glove’s features and benefits. Chief among them was a key indicator of a quality glove: tactile sensitivity.
“The tactile sensation on these gloves is quite good,” said Dr. Jimmy Tran in Newport Beach, CA. “I had no issues working with them.”
Tara Cabral, a hygienist in Cape Coral, FL, agreed. “Overall, the gloves have very good tactile sensitivity, and it was easy to grip instruments,” she said.
Sleek Black Color Hides Stains
A DPS Recommended Product, Patterson Chloroprene Black Examination Gloves are made from nonlatex, polychloroprene synthetic polymer, which offers all the benefits of natural rubber latex without the allergen risks associated with latex. Strong and elastic with soft, hand-conforming chloroprene, the gloves have a textured finish that provides excellent wet or dry gripping ability.“
The gloves are quite comfortable and go on easily. They’re also durable," Dr. Tran said. “At first, I was skeptical of the black color, since I have always used blue—even in dental school. But I like the black color; it doesn't show blood or other stains."
Strong and Tear Resistant
Patterson Chloroprene Black Examination Gloves leverage Flat Stack Technology, which means gloves are packed using a fully automated flat stacking process for easy, one-at-a-time glove dispensing.
“I love the comfort and fit of these gloves!” Cabral shared. “They don’t feel bulky or thick, and they seem to slide on a little more easily with damp hands than I have experienced with some other gloves. I haven’t ripped one yet, so I’d say they’re good as far as strength and tear resistance.”
Comfort Is Key
In addition to black, the gloves also are available in aqua and pink, and come in sizes small to extra-large. They are designed for extended wear durability.
“These gloves overall are good,” said Dr. Tran, who suggested a slightly snugger fit for easier donning with wet hands. “They are a 4.5 out of 5 for me."
“They just have a more comfortable feel overall,” Cabral added. “They don’t feel too thick and are comfortable to work in.”
