Gloves that Glide On with Ease

When comfort and performance align, clinicians take notice. This is particularly true when selecting dental gloves, where the balance of maximum protection, durability, and tactile feel contributes to safe and comfortable patient care.

A new addition to DASH Medical’s Black Maxx family of gloves, the Black Maxx Thin Nitrile Exam Gloves with Glide Assist Technology were expertly designed to meet these needs. The powder-free gloves feature a 3-mil thickness for high tactility and offer a “second skin feel” for user comfort—all while ensuring safety for clinicians and their patients.

“I received the gloves a few weeks ago and absolutely love them!” said Dr. Rachel Davis, who practices in Louisville, KY. “They fit great, have a wonderful textile feeling, and I'm able to get them on and off very easily. Plus, I love the black color of the gloves.”

Smooth Donning, Strong Performance

With DASH Medical’s Glide Assist Technology, these gloves incorporate a proprietary, water-based inner coating to help reduce friction and allow them to easily glide onto damp hands with ease and efficiency.

“I have not had any difficulties getting the gloves on or off,” Dr. Davis said. Other clinicians had similar experiences, including Arizona dentist Dr. Brent Gardner and Connecticut hygienist Jennifer Gugliotti.

“The gloves slid on nicely and felt coated, even though my hands were damp,” Dr. Gardner said, and Gugliotti also noted, “Sliding these gloves on slightly damp hands was much easier than other nitrile glove brands. They almost felt silkier inside, making them easier to slide on.”

Additionally, the Black Maxx Thin Nitrile Exam Gloves have been tested against fentanyl to ensure a strong, protective barrier for maximum safety. With that, Dr. Gardner reported, “The gloves seemed to hold up well, even better than average, and I’ve had no problem with ripping or tearing like many other gloves.”

Get a Comfortable Grip and Take Control

The new thin black nitrile formulation aims to provide increased touch sensitivity and enhanced comfort. These gloves also afford clinicians an excellent wet and dry grip.

“The Black Maxx Thin Nitrile Exam Gloves were very comfortable—soft and thin but still thick enough to feel I had enough protection,” Gugliotti explained. For Dr. Gardner, the gloves were “thin with pretty good tactile sensitivity," and he described having an adequate grip. “I found these gloves very comfortable and flexible,” he said.

Likewise, Lisa Juliana, PHDHP, commented, “I did have a good grip, even when the gloves were wet.” Dr. Davis continued, “The tactile sensation is amazing. I definitely feel more with these gloves than other nitrile gloves we use in our office, and I have not noticed any issues with the grip of the gloves in the oral environment. They perform at a top level.”

A Perfect Fit and Professional Look

“I did like the black color,” Juliana remarked. Packaged with 200 gloves per box, the Black Maxx Thin Nitrile Exam Gloves are available in a wide range of sizes—XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL. Beyond their professional appearance, the bold black color reduces glare under high-intensity lighting conditions.

“The fit is perfect,” Dr. Davis affirmed. Having used the Black Maxx Thin Nitrile Exam Gloves for the majority of her dental procedures, she especially noticed the difference when switching between other gloves. “The small size fits my hands well and offers great dexterity with all the intricate procedures I perform,” she shared.

“At first, I was nervous about the black color,” Gugliotti admitted. “But I actually got very used to these black gloves. They were very sleek, and it was nice for the patient not to see blood on my gloves during and after certain procedures.”

Setting a New Standard

“In our large 17-operatory practice with 5 doctors and 5 hygienists, we use a lot of gloves every day,” Dr. Davis said. “Overall, these gloves are wonderful, and I would love to order them on a regular basis.”

“I think this might be our office's new glove choice,” Gugliotti agreed, “and I would definitely recommend them to my colleagues. I really enjoyed working with these gloves!”
