Glove sizing

As with any glove selection, it is important that users wear the correct sized glove.
If the glove selected is too big in size, it will not offer a total barrier of protection for either the wearer (as fluids may leak inside the glove) or the food or materials in which they are handling.
A loose-fitting Vinyl glove could leave the wearer exposed to both catching and transmitting bacteria and viruses.
Gloves that are too tight or small, will only restrict the wearer from performing precision tasks with comfort and accuracy. As Vinyl examination gloves are only moderately elastic, compared to high flex Nitrile or Latex, a glove that is too small will be prone to breaking. This results in increased glove wastage and loss of productivity for the wearer in re-gloving. Prolonged usage of an ill-fitting glove with compromised dexterity, will lead to hand fatigue and strain.
