Reusable Versus Disposable Coats and Lens Options
Lab coats are stocked in launderable cotton-blend fabrics for daily reuse and in single-use fluid-resistant materials for contamination-control and visitor use. Eye protection separates into safety glasses for impact and goggles for splash, with vented goggles for general use and non-vented for chemical-splash exposure. Anti-fog lens coatings help maintain visibility during temperature and humidity changes.
Disposable PPE such as single-use coats and face shields is a recurring consumable reordered by the case, while reusable coats and goggles turn over more slowly through wear and staffing. Standing orders on disposable coats and eye protection keep labs supplied across shifts. Order at the best Wholesale Prices with MAP Medical.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between safety goggles and safety glasses?
Safety glasses protect against impact with side shields but leave gaps around the eye. Goggles seal against the face for splash and fine-particle protection, with vented models for general use and non-vented for chemical-splash exposure. Wet chemistry and pouring tasks generally call for goggles, while goggles or a face shield add coverage where splash risk is higher.
Are reusable and disposable lab coats both stocked?
Yes. Launderable cotton-blend coats are stocked for daily staff reuse, and single-use fluid-resistant coats are stocked for contamination control, visitors and higher-risk tasks. Both come in the full size range with knit or elastic cuffs. Fabric weight and closure style are listed on each product page.
What lens features are available on goggles?
Goggles and glasses are stocked with polycarbonate lenses in anti-fog and chemical-splash grades, with clear and tinted options and over-the-glasses styles for staff who wear prescription eyewear. Anti-fog coatings help maintain visibility through temperature and humidity changes at the bench.
Can hospitals and labs order lab coats, goggles and PPE in bulk?
Yes. Lab coats, goggles and PPE are stocked in case quantities for clinical and research labs, industrial and QC facilities, and academic laboratories. Standing orders cover the highest-volume SKUs, including disposable lab coats, splash goggles and full-face shields. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What laboratory PPE should a laboratory stock on its formulary?
A working laboratory PPE stock list typically includes launderable lab coats in the staff size range plus single-use coats for visitors, splash goggles and impact safety glasses, face shields for pouring tasks, and fluid-resistant aprons and sleeves for wet-bench work.
