Medical Gloves — Nitrile, Latex, Vinyl & Sterile

Vena Cava stocks one of the UK's widest ranges of medical examination and surgical gloves, with over 140 products from leading manufacturers including Aurelia, SemperCare, Polyco, Shield and Haika. Whether you need everyday examination gloves for a busy GP surgery or sterile surgical gloves for a theatre environment, you'll find the right material, size and specification here — all at competitive trade pricing with fast UK delivery.

Nitrile Examination Gloves

Nitrile gloves are the go-to choice across the NHS and private healthcare. They offer excellent puncture resistance, chemical protection and tactile sensitivity without the risk of latex allergies. Our range includes standard, extended-cuff and extra-thick variants in blue, black and white, available in boxes of 100 or 200 and sizes XS through XL. Accelerator-free options are available for staff with Type IV sensitivities.

Latex Examination Gloves

For clinicians who prefer the superior elasticity and fit of natural rubber latex, we supply powder-free latex examination gloves with micro-textured fingertips for enhanced grip. Ideal for tasks requiring fine dexterity, latex gloves remain popular in dental, veterinary and specialist clinical settings where tactile feedback is paramount.

Vinyl & Synthetic Gloves

Vinyl gloves provide an economical option for low-risk tasks such as food handling, general cleaning and non-invasive patient care. We also stock synthetic alternatives — including polychloroprene and polyisoprene — that deliver latex-like stretch and comfort without the allergen risk, making them suitable for both clinical and non-clinical environments.

Sterile Surgical Gloves

Our individually wrapped sterile gloves are essential for maintaining aseptic technique during surgical and invasive procedures. Available in nitrile and latex, these gloves are packaged in pairs and clearly sized for quick selection in theatre and procedure rooms.

Glove Dispensers & Accessories

Keep your glove stock organised and accessible with wall-mounted glove box holders, combined glove-and-apron dispensers and mobile trolley attachments. Proper dispensing reduces waste, prevents cross-contamination from shared boxes, and supports efficient clinical workflow.
