SuperMax Aurelia® Protégé® 93997 Sky Blue Stretch Nitrile Examination Gloves, Medium, Powder-Free — 100/Box

The SuperMax Aurelia® Protégé® 93997 is a Medium sky blue stretch nitrile powder-free examination glove — a nitrile examination glove that looks, fits and feels like latex, with all the benefits of nitrile. Enhanced formulation rivals latex comfort and ergonomics. Fingertip-textured finish even grips extra-thin objects. At 4.0 mil thickness with an advanced stretch nitrile formula, the Protégé delivers extraordinary tactile sensitivity and dexterity for precision work — making it the preferred choice for clinicians, dental professionals, laboratory researchers, and technicians who demand latex-like feel and comfort from a nitrile glove. Suitable for cytotoxic and chemotherapy drug splash resistance. 100 gloves per dispenser box. Made in Malaysia.

Medium Size — The Primary Stock Size for Most Healthcare and Laboratory Facilities The Medium is the most widely used glove size across healthcare and laboratory environments — fitting the majority of adult hands with the precise fit that maximizes dexterity, tactile sensitivity, and comfort during extended wear. For the Aurelia Protégé, proper sizing is especially important: the stretch nitrile formula delivers its latex-like feel and sensitivity only when the glove fits correctly. A properly fitted Medium Protégé provides the full tactile experience that makes this glove exceptional — maximizing the benefits of the stretch nitrile technology across the longest shifts and most demanding precision tasks. For labs and clinical facilities establishing a premium stretch nitrile glove program, Medium is the first and most critical size to stock.

Aurelia® Bold™ vs. Aurelia® Protégé® — Choosing the Right Aurelia Nitrile Glove: The Aurelia lineup includes two distinct nitrile examination glove lines designed for different priorities:

Stretch Nitrile Formula — Looks, Fits, and Feels Like Latex The Protégé's advanced stretch nitrile formulation eliminates the primary complaint about standard nitrile examination gloves: reduced tactile sensitivity and comfort compared to latex. It's so stretchy that your long hours seem to fly by and you won't believe the sensitivity from such a durable, yet lightweight glove. For clinicians and dental professionals who have been reluctant to switch from latex due to comfort concerns, the Protégé is the nitrile glove that makes the transition seamless — delivering the natural feel, stretch, and tactile feedback of latex while providing all the benefits of 100% nitrile construction.

4.0 Mil Thickness — Durable Yet Lightweight At 4.0 mil, the Protégé strikes the ideal balance between durability and sensitivity — thicker than ultra-thin nitrile gloves that sacrifice protection for feel, but lighter than heavy-duty 5 mil gloves that sacrifice tactile sensitivity for puncture resistance. The 4.0 mil wall provides reliable examination glove protection for routine clinical and laboratory tasks while maintaining the lightweight, close-fitting feel that all-day extended wear demands.

Fingertip-Textured Finish — Grips Even Extra-Thin Objects The fingertip texture of the Protégé is optimized for the precision grip needs of dental, surgical, and laboratory work — providing a secure, confident hold on suture needles, dental instruments, pipette tips, microscope slides, and other fine objects that require careful manipulation. The texture performs in both wet and dry conditions without the excess bulk of fully-textured glove surfaces.

Cytotoxic and Chemotherapy Drug Splash Resistance Suitable for cytotoxic/chemotherapy drug splash resistance — appropriate for environments where incidental splash contact with cytotoxic agents may occur during routine handling. For sustained or high-risk chemotherapy drug handling requiring full permeation resistance, the Aurelia Bold (fully chemo and fentanyl rated) is the more appropriate choice.

Sky Blue Color — Universal Clinical and Professional Appearance The sky blue color is the universally recognized color for clinical examination and dental gloves — providing a clean, professional appearance in examination rooms, dental operatories, and patient-facing clinical environments. Sky blue also provides good visual contrast against skin and tissue tones common in clinical work, allowing easy monitoring of glove integrity during procedures.

Air-Tested for Pinholes — Every Batch Each batch of gloves is air-tested to detect pinholes — every glove batch is inflated with air and inspected for leaks before packaging, ensuring the AQL 1.5 standard is consistently met.

100% Nitrile — Latex-Free, No Allergy Risk 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 Protégé delivers latex-like feel without any latex allergy risk.

Powder-Free — Clean, Contamination-Free Use Powder-free — eliminating starch powder contamination risk in clinical and laboratory settings. Powder-free is the only FDA-compliant option for clinical use in the United States.
