Gloves

On this page, you’ll get practical guidance for choosing the right glove - across nitrile, latex, vinyl, and antimicrobial types - plus recommendations tailored to healthcare, food service, and cleaning environments. You’ll also find expert tips and helpful tools to support your selection.

Gloves you can trust

We know how disruptive it can be when gloves tear mid-task, do not fit right or compromise safety. That is why every batch is tested by our own on-site quality assurance team - to ensure strength, comfort and performance you can rely on.

From infection control to food safety, we make it easier to choose the right glove for the job – so you can focus on what matters most.

A glove for every task

No matter where you work – a hospital, kitchen, or warehouse – we have you covered. From patient care to food safety and industrial cleaning, finding the right glove makes all the difference.

Start just below if you are looking for gloves for healthcare and hygiene tasks.

Scroll further down for options tailored to food handling, cleaning, and warehouse work.

Nitrile Examination Gloves

Nitrile gloves are a strong all-around choice for health care settings, from patient care and cleaning to chemotherapy and fluid handling. They offer excellent durability, high touch sensitivity and reliable protection against viruses and bacteria. Made from synthetic rubber, they are also latex-free and safe for users with latex allergies.

 

COATS® – made to avoid skin irritation

COATS is a medical-grade nitrile glove with an innovative inner membrane made from oats. Designed for professionals who wear gloves daily, it helps prevent skin irritation and supports healthy hands - even during long shifts or surgical use. 

Latex examination gloves

With a close, second-skin fit and high touch sensitivity, latex gloves are ideal for tasks that require precision – especially in patient care. Made from natural rubber, they offer great elasticity, strong durability and are available with or without powder for added comfort.

Vinyl examination gloves

Vinyl gloves offer a soft, gentle feel - ideal for bed bathing, skincare routines and other low-risk hygiene tasks. They are easy to put on and take off, free from latex and accelerators, and available in a phthalate-free version for extra safety. A practical and affordable option for daily care.

Not sure which glove fits your task?

Learn how to choose the right glove based on material, fit, and task – whether you are working in healthcare, food handling, or cleaning environments.

Antimicrobial gloves

Unlike traditional gloves that passively act as a barrier, these gloves actively fight bacteria on contact – killing up to 99.999% of selected microbes.

They are the world's first non-leaching antimicrobial gloves, proven effective against bacteria and viruses, including SARS-CoV-2. Designed to reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) while being gentle on skin.

 

 

 

Household gloves

When the job gets tough, you need gloves that can keep up. ABENA’s household gloves protect against oil, detergents, dirt, and more – while offering excellent grip and comfort. With textured fingers and palms, they ensure a secure hold in wet conditions. Several gloves meet EU 2016/425 level 3 for high performance.

Available in latex, nitrile, and phthalate-free vinyl.

Gloves for food handling 

From food prep to plating, hand protection is key to maintaining hygiene and safety. That’s why we offer a wide selection of gloves suitable for food contact. For more specialized tasks, our range includes textured gloves like Ruff-it for a firm grip in wet conditions, and cut-resistant gloves to reduce the risk of injury during food prep. For catering and service environments, black nitrile gloves add a sleek, professional look.

Textile gloves

Textile gloves offer soft, breathable comfort – perfect as inner gloves or for manual tasks like packing or handling goods in colder environments. They absorb moisture, helping to keep hands dry during long shifts. At the same time, their snug fit and grip dots provide warmth and control for steady, all-day comfort.

Colour-coding can help efficiency

Finding the right glove size shouldn't slow you down. That is why each size comes with its own colour – so you can quickly grab what you need, reduce errors and keep workflows running smoothly. Especially in busy settings, colour-coding helps save time and avoid mistakes.

Secure supply when it matters most

Gloves are too critical to run low on. That is why we focus on consistent supply, reliable delivery and local stock availability–so you always have what you need, when you need it.
