Chloroprene surgical gloves occupy a specific niche in the surgical glove formulary - the latex-free option for procedures where chemical resistance is a clinical requirement, and for surgeons who find standard nitrile's elastic properties limiting for their operative technique. Building chloroprene into a complete surgical glove formulary alongside nitrile and polyisoprene ensures that every operative requirement can be met without latex. Order at the best Wholesale Prices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are chloroprene and neoprene surgical gloves the same product?
Yes. Chloroprene and neoprene are both trade and generic names for chloroprene - the same synthetic rubber polymer. Some manufacturers market their chloroprene surgical gloves as “neoprene” and others as “chloroprene” but the base material is identical. When evaluating products labeled with either term, confirm the material specification (chloroprene) rather than relying on the marketing name.
