McKesson Confiderm DCL Latex Exam Gloves — Double Chlorinated, Powder-Free, Textured Fingertips, 4 Sizes

Double chlorinated. High tensile strength. The natural rubber latex glove built for clinical confidence. McKesson Confiderm DCL Latex Exam Gloves are a premium powder-free latex examination glove featuring double chlorination (DCL) — a process that reduces surface latex proteins and residual chemicals to provide a safer donning experience for wearers with mild latex sensitivity and those who double-glove in clinical settings. At 6.7 mil fingertip thickness, the DCL delivers a durable, flexible barrier with textured fingertips for secure grip and a beaded cuff to prevent rolldown. Ambidextrous, non-sterile, single-use. Available in Small through X-Large, sold by the box of 100 or by the case of 1,000.

✔ Double Chlorinated (DCL) — Reduced Surface Latex Proteins ✔ Powder-Free ✔ Textured Fingertips — Secure Grip & Tactile Sensitivity ✔ 6.7 Mil — Clinical-Grade Barrier ✔ Beaded Cuff — Prevents Rolldown

Product Details

⚠ Latex Allergy Warning: This product contains natural rubber latex which may cause allergic reactions. Safe use of this glove by or on latex-sensitized individuals has not been established. Discontinue use if any adverse reactions occur — including rashes, redness, itching, hives, tingling, sneezing, runny nose, or other allergy symptoms. For latex-free alternatives, see McKesson Confiderm Nitrile or McKesson Stretch Vinyl exam gloves.

Features & Benefits

• Double Chlorinated — DCL — The "DCL" in Confiderm DCL stands for Double Chlorination — a two-stage surface treatment process that reduces residual latex proteins and chemical accelerators on the glove surface. Double chlorination lowers the risk of latex protein contact for wearers with mild sensitivity and is the standard for clinicians who double-glove, as it reduces the tackiness that can make layered gloves difficult to don and doff
• High Tensile Strength Natural Rubber Latex — Natural rubber latex provides exceptional elasticity, flexibility, and tactile sensitivity that synthetic glove materials cannot fully replicate — making latex the preferred glove material for dental procedures, surgical support tasks, and any clinical application where fine motor sensitivity is critical
• Textured Fingertips — Micro-textured surface at the fingertips provides a secure grip on wet, dry, and slippery surfaces — improving tactile precision during examination, instrument handling, IV placement, wound care, and detailed clinical tasks
• 6.7 Mil Fingertip Thickness — 0.17 mm at the fingertip provides a robust clinical-grade barrier — thicker than most standard exam gloves — appropriate for medical personnel, dental teams, law enforcement, and first responders requiring durable hand protection
• Powder-Free — No powder coating eliminates the contamination, allergy, and patient sensitivity risks associated with powdered latex gloves — required in most clinical and hospital environments and preferred for all direct patient care applications
• Smooth Inner and Outer Surface — The smooth finish makes donning and doffing fast and easy, reducing hand fatigue during high-volume glove changes in busy clinical settings
• Beaded Cuff — Rolled beaded cuff at the wrist prevents the glove from rolling down during use and helps prevent fluid from running inside the glove during clinical procedures
• 9.4-Inch Length — Slightly longer than many standard exam gloves, providing additional wrist coverage during examination and patient care tasks
• Ambidextrous — Fits either hand — simplifies donning, reduces waste, and speeds glove changes in high-volume clinical environments
• Single Use — Designed for single-use disposal — supports infection control protocols and prevents cross-contamination between patients or procedures

What Does "DCL" Mean — DCL vs. CL Latex Gloves Explained

McKesson's Confiderm latex line uses two chlorination designations — CL (single chlorination) and DCL (double chlorination) — and the difference matters clinically:

Bottom line: DCL is the appropriate choice when clinicians double-glove, when mild latex sensitivity is a concern, or when a higher-grade surface treatment is required by facility protocol. For latex-free requirements, choose McKesson Confiderm Nitrile or McKesson Stretch Vinyl.

Indicated Uses & Clinical Applications

• General patient examination and assessment
• Dental examinations and procedures
• Wound care and dressing changes
• IV placement and blood draws
• Medication preparation and administration
• Double-gloving applications in clinical and surgical support settings
• Infection control and isolation precautions
• Laboratory and specimen handling
• Law enforcement and first responder use
• Home health and personal care procedures (non-latex-sensitive patients only)
• Long-term care and skilled nursing facility use

Sizing Guide

Fit tip: Natural rubber latex conforms closely to the hand and provides excellent elasticity. If you are between sizes, size down for a snugger, more sensitive clinical fit or size up for easier donning and more comfort during extended wear.
