All devices that are Class II and above are licensed by Health Canada to be sold in the Canadian market. Before a license is given, the device must meet specific requirements and standards that are verified by Health Canada.


Medical Nitrile Gloves

Medical Nitrile Gloves are classified as Class II medical devices and must adhere to the standards and requirements of Health Canada. They are used to prevent the transmission of diseases and germs and provide a physical barrier against cross-contamination. The Canadian standard for gloves is the ISO 11193-1 or ASTM D3578 depending on the composition of the gloves. Gloves that meet the European standard, EN 455, also meet the required standards.
