Glove Brand Showdown!!!

We’re all still feeling the “Great Black Nitrile Glove Shortage of 2020”. We saw new brands and prices. Choosing the right glove can feel confusing. To make it easy, we broke down everything you need to know about all the types of gloves we carry in one blog post.

Glove Brand Showdown!!!

EIKON TEAM | PUBLISHED JUL 14, 2021

Primed Vital

Like all the gloves we carry, PriMED Vital™ nitrile gloves are Medical/Exam-Grade and offer a high standard of quality, along with some bonus features including a 10.5” glove length which provides additional wrist coverage. These 4 mil gloves fit similarly to Adenna Shadow and Eikon Premium gloves but provide additional wrist coverage, resulting in less roll-down and tugging for improved comfort.

PriMED Vitality - Nitrile

Packed with 150 gloves per box, PriMED Vitality gloves may initially seem expensive, but the “per glove price” is the lowest available in our nitrile line-up. PriMED Vitality gloves use a lightweight nitrile technology that makes them super-flexible, soft and comfortable while offering more dexterity and tactile sensitivity. These gloves exceed the ASTM D6319 specification for Nitrile Examination Gloves for Medical Application. You can count on these gloves to be in stock at all times.

Adenna Night Angel - Nitrile

Night Angel gloves are the thinnest medical grade black nitrile glove in Adenna’s line-up and have been a staple on Tattoo Artists’ hands for years. These gloves are still in very limited supply so you can expect to see some sizes out of stock off and on.

Adenna Shadow - Nitrile

Shadow gloves are the most popular Adenna gloves in our store. They offer the same medical-grade protection as PriMED Vitality and Adenna Night Angel, but they are thicker if that's what you’re into. Like Night Angel, these gloves are in limited supply and you can expect some sizes to be out of stock on occasion.

Adenna Precision - Nitrile

Adenna’s Precision line of nitrile gloves are the purple equivalent of Night Angel. They fit the same and offer the same thickness and protection, but because they are purple, they are more readily available than both Shadow and Night Angel.

ProWorks KODA - Nitrile

This is a limited time purchase that’s only available to artists in the USA. ProWorks KODA gloves provide a very comfortable fit and feel thicker than their 3.5mil rating. Although the colour is described as black, once out of the box they look more like a cool 1960s-era Batman cape blue.

Adenna Phantom - Latex

Phantom gloves are the only latex gloves we carry from the Adenna line. These gloves claim to have the lowest protein allowable by the FDA which minimizes the potential for rubber-latex protein related allergies. The demand and cost of latex gloves has dropped recently, and you can save a bit of cash by using this alternative for tattooing* or cleaning. Latex glove availability is increasing all the time so stock should not be an issue.

Adenna Vitex - Vinyl

To show you how seriously we take your gloves, even the Vinyl gloves we carry are medical-grade. The cost of Vinyl has decreased over the past month, so why not augment your Nitrile glove supply with some Vinyl gloves. This can help to lower your clean-up costs while nitrile glove prices are high. Due to low demand, vinyl gloves are readily available.

Out of respect to your fellow artists we are still limiting the purchase of gloves to 10 boxes per size, per order. With that said, if you need more gloves please reach out to our Customer Service Team and they’ll do their best to get you what you need.


Satisfaction Guaranteed…

If you have any problems with the gloves you’ve purchased, PLEASE don’t hesitate to contact the Customer Service Team. They will take care of you.
