An AQL 1.5 Non-Sterile Ambidextrous Powdered Latex Glove is a highly standardized, medical-grade barrier product. It is widely used in clinical, laboratory, and high-precision industrial environments where a reliable shield against biohazards and contaminants is mandatory.
Here is a technical breakdown of what these specifications mean and why they matter for procurement and safety.
AQL 1.5 (Acceptable Quality Level): This is the strict statistical sampling standard used by manufacturers to measure quality control. An AQL of 1.5 means that during random batch testing, there is less than a 1.5% chance of finding a pinhole defect. This is the global benchmark for medical-grade examination gloves.
Non-Sterile: These gloves are not subjected to gamma irradiation or ethylene oxide sterilization. They are designed for general medical examinations, diagnostics, and lab work, rather than invasive surgical procedures.
Ambidextrous: The gloves are symmetrically shaped so that any single glove can fit either the left or the right hand. This simplifies packaging, speeds up donning, and reduces waste.
Powdered (USP Cornstarch): Lightly coated on the inside with USP-grade absorbable cornstarch. The powder absorbs hand sweat and makes it significantly faster to slide the gloves on or off, even with damp hands.
| Property | Standard Performance | Benefit |
| Material | 100% Natural Rubber Latex | Exceptional elasticity, high tactile sensitivity, and a comfortable "second-skin" fit. |
| Tensile Strength | High ($ge 18text{ MPa}$ before aging) | Resists tearing under high physical stress or stretching. |
| Elongation at Break | Excellent ($ge 650%$ before aging) | Stretches significantly before snapping, accommodating various hand shapes. |
| Cuff Design | Beaded / Rolled | Reinforces the glove opening to prevent tearing during donning and stops liquid roll-down. |
Thanks to the rigorous AQL 1.5 rating, these gloves are trusted across several demanding sectors:
Medical Examinations: Used by doctors, dentists, and nurses for non-invasive clinical checkups, blood draws, and patient care.
Laboratory & Research: Ideal for handling biological samples, chemical reagents, and sensitive equipment where dexterity is paramount.
Beauty & Tattoo Services: Provides a reliable hygienic barrier against body fluids and pigments.
Light Industrial & Cleaning: Used in precision manufacturing or sorting tasks that require maximum fingertip sensitivity.
