SuperMax Aurelia® Bold™ 73999 Black Nitrile Examination Gloves, X-Large, Powder-Free, Chemo & Fentanyl-Rated — 100/Box

The SuperMax Aurelia® Bold™ 73999 is an X-Large 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-Large Size — Full Protection for Larger Hands Without Restriction The X-Large size is an essential format for clinicians, researchers, and technicians with larger hands who require a properly fitted glove for all-day comfort and maximum dexterity. A Large-handed user forced to wear a Medium or Large glove experiences significant restriction and discomfort — reduced circulation, increased hand fatigue during extended wear, and elevated glove failure risk from the mechanical stress of the nitrile material being overstretched. The Aurelia Bold X-Large 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 all-day comfort and tactile sensitivity for larger-handed staff working extended clinical and laboratory shifts. For facilities operating a documented chemo-rated glove program, the 73999 XL is an essential complement to Medium and Large stocks for complete staff coverage.

5 Mil Thickness — Superior Puncture Resistance Without Sacrificing Flexibility 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. In the X-Large format where the glove material covers more surface area than Medium or Large, the 5 mil wall maintains consistent puncture resistance across the larger glove geometry without thinning at stress points.

Rich Finger Texture — Improved Grip Wet or Dry 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 large-handed users performing precise laboratory work, dental procedures, tattooing, or surgical tasks, the finger texture in a properly fitted X-Large format provides superior control compared to any glove worn in the wrong size.

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. 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. Powder-free is the only FDA-compliant option for clinical use in the United States following the 2017 FDA ban on powdered examination gloves.

Beaded Cuff — Easier Donning and Reduced Roll-Back The beaded cuff provides structural reinforcement at the glove opening that facilitates faster, cleaner donning — particularly valuable for X-Large gloves where a wider cuff opening accommodates the larger hand entry smoothly without bunching or stretching the cuff. The beaded cuff prevents roll-back during extended wear throughout busy clinical and laboratory shifts.
