Nitrile vs Latex Gloves: Save 37% Without Sacrificing Protection (Procurement Guide)

Hospital procurement officers and plant safety managers face a costly dilemma: Do cheaper latex gloves put your team and budget at risk? With allergic reactions spiking 152% in US healthcare last year and chemical accidents costing manufacturers $2M+ annually, GP GRAFT's evidence-based comparison reveals why switching to nitrile isn't just safer—it's smarter economics.
