Which glove brands do you like, and why?

Note: Personally I swear by the Microflex Diamond Grip. I refuse to wear anything else.
 
Mckesson nitrile 911 gloves. It’s one of the 2 glove types that our company supplies us. Tough enough not to rip while moving the gurney or lifting but still thin enough that I have no trouble finding IV sites.

Intresting... I don't like nitrile because of the "baggy" fit. Feels too much like having my hand in a sock. And If you have your hand in a sock on the job...well...your doing something unprofessional. lol :-D

If I wear larges then I will have that baggy feeling. However the mediums fit my had very well... one might even say they fit like a glove...
 
North American Rescue - Black Talon. Best gloves ever. I went up a size then I normally wear but they are fantastic. I have yet to tear one on scene
 
I pretty much wear whatever gloves are handy, from Medium to XL. If I double glove, then it's always medium as the "base" layer and the next larger available size on top of that...
 
I was at a show a couple of years ago and saw (I have no financial stake in this product, nor have any personal/business relationships with those in the company) the Digitcare ApexPro. Its pH balanced so you don't sweat in them and you can pick up a dime while wearing them. I thought they were pretty cool considering you don't often hear the term innovative being applied to a disposable glove.
 
Powdered vinyl gloves; the baggier the better.
 
Whatever work supplies that fits snug

Interesting- I didn't think you could really get a glove that remains sweat free after wearing it for more than a minute or so. But picking up a dime scares me a bit- would have to be a bit too thin for comfort to be able to do that. Personally, I Like something that is at least a 6 mil, preferably more a 7 mil. Our stock supply (which I refuse to wear because you might as well be wearing lead if your wearing a size small enough to fit right) are a nitrile 14 mil- about a step down from your mom's yellow dish gloves.

But you can't see blood on black all that well- hence I'm guessing your well controlled with your hands to avoid cross contamination or else you must be one of these people that change their gloves every 2 minutes on the same case.
 
I have never worn a pair of gloves that I can not pick up a dime with. As long as I wear the correct sized glove. Is that really an issue?

Lol, I was wondering who all else out there shared my love and appreciation for such wonders.

I get the SNF's using them, but when you walk into a hospital who still does it's pretty sad. All that's missing is the hairnet.

I hate the see through gloves that our SNFs have. I don’t know what they are made of but I’m pretty sure putting a zip lock bag over my hand would be easier, more comfortable, and be more safe.

I always thought thise were simply good service gloves the lunch lady at the cafeteria wears, and the SNFs said "eh it's a glove technically, and it's cheap too"
