Aurelia Nitrile Exam Gloves in Canada — 3.2, 4.0 and 4.5 mil, 1,000 per Case
Three powder-free nitrile exam glove lines from Aurelia, sold by the case of 1,000: 3.2 mil for dexterity, 4.0 mil for general examination, 4.5 mil where more barrier is wanted. Every case is 10 boxes × 100 gloves in one size, at $0.09 to $0.11 a glove.
Which nitrile thickness does a clinic actually need?
| Glove | Thickness | Surface | Gloves per case | Case price | Price per glove |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aurelia Transform 100 — 3.2 mil | 3.2 mil | Finger-tip textured, ultra stretch | 1,000 (10 × 100) | $89.99 | $0.09 |
| Aurelia Protégé — 4.0 mil | 4.0 mil | Micro-textured | 1,000 (10 × 100) | $99.99 | $0.10 |
| Aurelia Robust — 4.5 mil | 4.5 mil | Micro-textured | 1,000 (10 × 100) | $109.99 | $0.11 |
The arithmetic is the same for all three: $89.99 ÷ 1,000 = $0.09 per glove, $99.99 ÷ 1,000 = $0.10, $109.99 ÷ 1,000 = $0.11. The step from 3.2 mil to 4.5 mil costs about two cents a glove — roughly $20 a case — which is the number to put against how often a glove tears during a procedure rather than against the case price alone. All three are medical-grade, powder-free, latex-free and chemotherapy tested.
What does a case of gloves cost per patient, and how long does it last?
Work the count from appointments and glove changes, not from the case. A two-chair practice running twenty appointments a day, with a glove change between each patient and a second pair for the hygienist at the chair, uses roughly forty pairs — eighty gloves — a day. Over a 21-day month that is about 1,680 gloves, so a 1,000-glove case lasts a little under four working weeks at that pace. Two cases a month keeps one size available while the other is open, which is what stops a mid-morning run to the stockroom.
Is 3.2 mil too thin for clinical work?
Thickness is a trade, not a ranking. A 3.2 mil glove is the most tactile of the three and suits examination, hygiene, phlebotomy and any task where feeling a pulse or a vein margin matters; a 4.5 mil glove gives more barrier and tolerates longer or rougher handling, which is why it is the choice for procedures with more manipulation or more fluid. A 4.0 mil sits between them and is the usual default for a mixed clinic. Many practices stock two lines rather than one and let the procedure pick the glove.
What else belongs in the same room as the gloves?
Nothing in this group is a substitute for another item; the three lines differ only in thickness and surface, so the pair is decided by the task. What does belong beside them is the rest of the room: procedural face masks, the touch-free foam soap dispenser for the hand-hygiene point, and specimen transport bags for anything leaving the room.
How is a case packed, and can sizes be mixed?
One carton is 10 boxes of 100 gloves — 1,000 gloves of a single size (S, M, L or XL), with case weights of roughly 4.5 kg (3.2 mil), 5.3 kg (4.0 mil) and 6.2 kg (4.5 mil). Sizes are not mixed inside a case: a practice that needs M for the dentists and S for the hygienists orders one case of each. Store cases flat and off the floor, and keep the opened box out of direct sunlight — nitrile does not like heat any more than latex does.
Where to buy nitrile exam gloves in Canada?
All three lines are stocked in Toronto and ship across Canada by the case. Size the monthly volume from your glove-change count in the clinic supply and cost planner so the standing order is built on appointments rather than on a guess, and use wholesale pricing when a facility orders across several lines or several sites.

Frequently asked questions
How many gloves are in a case of Aurelia nitrile exam gloves?
One thousand. Every case is 10 boxes of 100 gloves, packed as a single size — S, M, L or XL.
Can sizes be mixed inside one case?
No. A case holds one size only, so a practice needing more than one size orders one case per size.
Are these gloves latex-free and powder-free?
Yes. All three lines are nitrile, powder-free and latex-free, and all three are medical grade and chemotherapy tested.
Which thickness should a clinic stock first?
4.0 mil is the usual default for a mixed clinic; stock 3.2 mil where tactile feedback matters most and 4.5 mil for longer or heavier procedures.
