FDA Product Code LZA: Polymer Patient Examination Glove

Examination gloves are among the most used medical devices in healthcare settings. FDA product code LZA covers polymer patient examination gloves — including nitrile, vinyl, and other synthetic materials.

These gloves provide a protective barrier between healthcare workers and patients during examination and non-surgical procedures. Nitrile gloves are the preferred choice for latex-sensitive patients and clinicians.

LZA devices are Class I medical devices, regulated under 21 CFR 880.6250 and reviewed by the FDA General Hospital panel.
