Nitrile gloves are composed of a synthetic polymer substance rather than the rubber used in regular gloves. Nitrile gloves include Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR), a synthesized polymer manufactured in a large tank by mixing polymers including acrylonitrile and butadiene. Nitrile gloves are ideal for numerous medical contexts, as they are highly puncture-resistant and eliminate the possibility of latex allergic responses.
