SuperMax Aurelia® Bold™ 73995 Black Nitrile Examination Gloves, X-Small, Powder-Free, Chemo & Fentanyl-Rated — 100/Box

Product Description

The SuperMax Aurelia® Bold™ 73995 is an X-Small black nitrile powder-free examination glove — your go-to choice for superior puncture resistance and durability that doesn't compromise tactile sensitivity, flexibility, and all-day comfort. The rich finger texture adds a gripping finish, making it a practical solution for various applications. Chemo and fentanyl-rated, and tested to the highest international standards including EN 455 CE Class 1 Medical Grade. At 5 mil thickness, the Aurelia Bold delivers meaningful puncture resistance above the standard 3–4 mil examination glove — making it the preferred choice for healthcare, laboratory, dental, and any application where durability and chemical protection are non-negotiable. 100 gloves per dispenser box. Made in Malaysia.

Chemo and Fentanyl-Rated — Critical Protection for Healthcare and Lab Environments The Aurelia Bold's chemo and fentanyl rating is the single most important differentiating feature separating it from standard nitrile examination gloves. Chemo-rated gloves have been tested to demonstrate resistance to permeation by specific chemotherapeutic agents — providing documented protection that standard nitrile gloves cannot claim even at equivalent thickness. The fentanyl rating is increasingly critical in healthcare, emergency response, law enforcement, and laboratory settings where accidental skin contact with fentanyl and other synthetic opioids poses a serious occupational health risk. For any lab or clinical environment handling cytotoxic drugs, hazardous pharmaceuticals, or synthetic opioids, the Aurelia Bold's dual chemo/fentanyl rating is not optional — it is a documented safety requirement.

X-Small Size — The Essential Size for the Smallest Hands in Your Facility The X-Small size is the most frequently overlooked and understock glove size in healthcare and laboratory settings — yet it is the only properly fitted option for staff with the smallest hands. An XS-handed clinician or researcher wearing a Small or Medium glove experiences dramatically reduced tactile sensitivity, increased material bunching at the fingertips, significantly impaired dexterity for fine motor tasks, and elevated glove failure risk from excess material snagging or tearing. The Aurelia Bold X-Small provides the same 5 mil protection, chemo rating, and fentanyl rating as every other size in the Bold line — in the properly fitted format that maintains full tactile sensitivity and motor control for precision pipetting, dental procedures, suturing, tattooing, and any delicate manipulation task. For facilities operating a documented chemo-rated glove program, the 73995 XS is essential for ensuring all staff — regardless of hand size — have access to properly fitted, certified protection.

5 Mil Thickness — Superior Puncture Resistance Without Sacrificing Feel At 5 mil, the Aurelia Bold sits above the 3–4 mil range of standard nitrile examination gloves — providing a meaningful step up in puncture resistance, tear resistance, and chemical permeation resistance without the reduced dexterity and tactile feedback associated with heavy-duty industrial gloves. The 5 mil wall maintains the flexibility and finger sensitivity that precision X-Small glove work demands while offering additional protection for high-risk environments.

Rich Finger Texture — Improved Grip for Precision Work The rich finger texture of the Aurelia Bold provides a secure, confident grip on instruments, tubes, pipettes, slides, and other laboratory and clinical equipment — in both wet and dry conditions. For X-Small-handed users performing delicate tasks including precise pipetting, microsurgery, tattooing, suturing, or dental procedures, the finger texture in the correct X-Small size provides the maximum possible control — uncompromised by the loose-fitting excess material of an improperly sized larger glove.

Bold Black Color — Visual Contrast and Professional Appearance The distinctive black color provides immediate visual contrast against light-colored surfaces, reagents, and biological materials — making contamination, tears, and pinhole defects visible at a glance in a way that standard beige or blue nitrile gloves cannot. The black color also projects a professional appearance in examination rooms, dental offices, tattoo studios, and client-facing clinical environments.

100% Nitrile — Latex-Free, Safe for Latex-Sensitive Users and Patients Manufactured from 100% nitrile — completely free from natural rubber latex proteins that cause Type I latex hypersensitivity reactions. For healthcare and laboratory environments with latex-sensitive staff or patients, or for facilities maintaining a latex-free policy, the Aurelia Bold is fully compliant without any latex allergy risk.

Powder-Free — No Contamination of Samples, Patients, or Environments Powder-free — eliminating starch powder contamination risk in laboratory and clinical settings. In laboratory environments, powder contamination can interfere with assays, contaminate cell cultures, and introduce artifacts into analytical results. Powder-free is the only FDA-compliant option for clinical use in the United States.

Beaded Cuff — Easier Donning for the Tightest Fit The beaded cuff provides structural reinforcement at the glove opening that facilitates faster, cleaner donning — particularly critical for X-Small gloves where the tighter fit at the wrist makes donning more challenging than for larger sizes. The beaded cuff opens the entry point for faster, cleaner gloving up without stretching or compromising the cuff integrity.
