Nitril gloves come in different thicknesses.If what you have rip easily then get a heavier weight glove. The reason for nitril gloves for doctors other than not using latex is that they are not supposed to rip easily and are resistant to being poked through by a needle. The thickness should be on the box.
Wow, that's a new one. 20 plus years in the dental field and never heard that one before.
FYI.... Nitrile gloves are old news due to the lack of tactile sensitivity. Polypropylene gloves are the most common now.
