Natrle Biodegradable Exam Gloves
Medical-Grade Protection. Biodegradable by Design.
Natrle exam gloves combine medical-grade nitrile protection with EcoDegra™ biodegradable technology. Tested for use with chemotherapy drugs and fentanyl citrate, they deliver the same barrier performance as conventional nitrile while breaking down in 1–5 years in landfill conditions—not 100+ years.
