Nitrile gloves are latex free and have very low allergy rates (less than 1% of users). They are the most popular type of glove used today which is mainly attributed to their versatility (can be used in almost every industry), very low allergy rates, and price. 2, record 1, English, - nitrile%20glove

Los guantes de nitrilo son, esencialmente, guantes desechables que están fabricados en nitrilo en lugar de látex. [...] Los guantes de nitrilo se utilizan para una enorme variedad de propósitos diferentes, desde exámenes médicos a los servicios de comidas, pasando por mecánicos y hasta agentes de policía. La razón es que son guantes muy versátiles y, en última instancia, mejores que los guantes de látex. 1, record 1, Spanish, - guante%20de%20nitrilo
