Review on Tech-Med Finger Cot by DUKAL πŸ–οΈ - Medium Size, Nitrile Material, Pack of 144 by Shane Grosland

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works pretty well but needs elasticity at the bottom to keep water out.

Pros – I like that they don't stick together like latex when wet. I also like that they fit snugly when worn. Cons - they are stiff and difficult to launch, but after a few rolls the rest is easy. I don't like that there is no elasticity at the bottom, so water enters very easily when washing hands. As soon as even the slightest amount of water gets in, they fall off immediately and I move on to new spares, so I use them much quicker than planned or ideal. I originally bought Latex Grafco. The advantages are that they are easy to put on and have a snug fit. For me, however, the disadvantages outweigh the disadvantages. they have powders and they smell them. When washing hands, they stick together (when two fingers have a cot next to each other). Still, these nitrile ones are better for me for everyday use, but I wash them too quickly as water gets in and they fall off immediately, leaving the patch underneath wet and needing to be replaced as well. (Even if I hold my fingers up; it doesn't seem to matter, water gets in.) Huge disappointment. They're also difficult to start, especially via a patch; but if it rolls a few times, it works fine. The ideal scenario would be these made of nitrile with an elasticated backing to keep them from falling off and letting water through. (Reduces the number of patches I would go through as well.) It would be nice if they were easier to start with, they are quite stiff but it's really just a lack of elasticity that might put me off ordering them again . I hope this will be an easy fix and would love to see it happen. then these would be perfect. Also, a big plus is that they have NO powder or scent, which is very cool.

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Expensive
