Key Features

Kills over 99% of bacteria

Designed to mitigate the risk of cross-contamination, our BioCote silver ion technology binds with bacteria cells to irreparably damage them, therefore stopping them from reproducing and rendering them harmless. Fortified gloves have been shown to be effective against all types of bacteria and our BioCote technology has been proven to materially reduce microbes by up to 99.5%.

Medium weight nitrile construction

Fortified gloves feature medium weight construction for the ideal balance between strength and sensitivity, while their nitrile formulation and textured palms and fingertips mean the gloves conform to the hand for a perfect fit as well as superior grip – even in wet or oily conditions. Latex free, these gloves are also suitable for use by those with latex allergies or sensitivities. 

Superior protection

Tested to EN374, our Fortified gloves are resistant to a range of chemicals. They are also certified as safe for use with all food types, and as they meet medical standards for pinholes, they are an excellent examination glove solution.

How does silver work in gloves?

Silver ions are present at the surface of the glove and are available to act against contaminating microbes. The silver ions bind with and irreparably damage their cells; disrupt normal functions essential to survival; stopping them from reproducing and rendering them harmless.
