PureTouch Nitrile Gloves: Benefits for Healthcare and Elderly Care

Thin, tactile, textured at the fingertips and packed 200 to a box. Why PureTouch nitrile gloves suit elderly care, nursing homes, clinics, dialysis centres and vets.

PureTouch is Bergamot’s new indigo blue nitrile powder free examination glove, launched in November 2026. It was developed for people who put on a fresh pair of gloves dozens of times a shift: carers in elderly care and nursing homes, clinic and dialysis centre staff, and veterinary teams. This guide explains the benefits of PureTouch nitrile gloves and where they fit.

The benefits of PureTouch nitrile gloves

1. Dexterity: you can feel what you are doing

Care work is fine work. Fastening the tapes on an adult diaper, peeling the backing off a dressing, opening a medicine sachet or finding a pulse all depend on touch. PureTouch is thin at the palm and fingers, so the glove follows the hand instead of fighting it.

2. Grip: textured fingertips for wet work

Washing, wiping and handling soapy or damp items is where smooth gloves slip. The textured fingertips on PureTouch improve grip on wet surfaces, bottles and instruments.

3. Comfort: made for all-day wear

PureTouch uses low derma technology and an enhanced skin fit, designed to reduce hand fatigue and irritation during prolonged use. It is powder free, and because it is nitrile it contains no natural rubber latex, the usual cause of latex allergy.

4. Reliable barrier

Thin does not mean weak. PureTouch is tested for tensile strength (min. 18 MPa before ageing, 14 MPa after) and elongation (min. 500% before ageing, 400% after) to ASTM methods, and force at break (min. 6 N) to EN methods.

5. 200 pieces per box

Every other Bergamot examination glove comes 100 to a box. PureTouch comes 200 to a box. For a busy care home or clinic that means:

half as many box changes at each bedside, trolley or treatment room
less chance of running out in the middle of a task
less cardboard to store, flatten and throw away
easier stock counts: one carton is 2,000 gloves

Using gloves well in care settings

Wear gloves when there is a chance of touching blood, body fluids, mucous membranes or broken skin (⬇ WHO Glove Use Information Leaflet).
Use one pair for one person and one task, and change gloves when moving from a soiled area to a clean one.
Clean your hands after taking gloves off. Gloves do not replace hand hygiene.
Pick the right size. Measure across the palm: XS 75 mm, S 85 mm, M 95 mm, L 106 mm, XL 116 mm (each ± 5 mm).
