What size exam glove do I need?

Finding the right fit in an exam glove is crucial to the wearers ability to function safely whilst wearing the gloves. This is especially important in a medical setting where there is 0 margin for error. A glove that fits too tightly can result in hand fatigue, deterioration in the ability to handle objects, as well as skin irritation. Conversely, a loose-fitting glove is capable of causing the wearer unintentional clumsiness and reduced efficiency. In order to find the perfect fit, consider the following four areas: glove width, glove length, finger width, and finger length. Material is another factor to bear in mind as certain materials, depending on the thickness and stretchability, can change glove fit by full sizes up and down.
