Collection: Protective Wear PPE

Protective Wear & PPE for Healthcare Professionals

Personal protective equipment is essential for safeguarding staff and patients in every clinical interaction. Vena Cava supplies a comprehensive range of PPE and protective wear designed for healthcare, dental, veterinary and laboratory environments — from single-use gloves and aprons to full-face visors, respirator masks and protective eyewear. All our PPE meets the relevant EN and BS standards and is stocked in bulk quantities for facilities that consume protective wear daily.

Disposable Gloves

Choose from nitrile, latex and vinyl examination gloves in powder-free formulations and sizes XS through to XL. Our nitrile gloves offer excellent chemical resistance and tactile sensitivity for clinical procedures, while vinyl gloves provide a cost-effective option for low-risk tasks. We supply leading brands including Aurelia, SemperCare, Polyco and Shield, with accelerator-free and low-protein options available for sensitive skin.

Aprons, Gowns & Coveralls

Disposable polythene aprons in flat-pack and roll-dispensed formats are a staple of infection control across GP surgeries, care homes and community nursing. For higher-risk procedures, we stock fluid-resistant isolation gowns, surgical gowns and full-body coveralls. Reusable washable gowns are also available for practices looking to reduce single-use waste.

For how patient gowns differ from protective gowns and aprons, see our hospital gowns guide.

Face Masks, Visors & Eye Protection

Our respiratory protection range includes Type IIR surgical face masks, FFP2 and FFP3 respirator masks with and without valves, and comfortable ear-loop masks for general clinical use. We also stock full-face visors, anti-fog safety goggles and wrap-around protective spectacles. All face masks are tested to EN 14683 or EN 149 standards as applicable.

Head Covers & Shoe Covers

Complete your PPE provision with disposable mob caps, bouffant caps, beard snoods and overshoe covers for use in theatres, clean rooms and food preparation areas.
