About MedPride
MedPride is a brand of disposable medical products manufactured by the Shield Line Company, headquartered in Hackensack, New Jersey. The brand supplies medical gloves, ointments, scrubs, and other single-use hospital supplies to hospitals, nursing homes, and healthcare organizations, distributed primarily through national medical distributors rather than direct-to-consumer retail.
On Amazon, MedPride's exam gloves reach home health and consumer buyers directly, and its Powder-Free Nitrile Exam Gloves have drawn more than 103,000 ratings, the largest review base of any nitrile exam glove in our own testing pool. The brand's broader exam glove catalog spans nitrile, latex, vinyl, and polyethylene materials alongside sterile surgeon's gloves, and its wider product line covers antiseptics, wound care, and personal protective equipment for clinical settings.

Why we recognized MedPride
The BestRatedDocs Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose products consistently stand out in our category reviews. MedPride earned it on the strength of the products below, evaluated the same way every product on this site is: assessed against clinical criteria, verified specifications, and real-world user outcomes, and judged on merit.
MedPride products we rated highly
MedPride Powder-Free Nitrile Exam Gloves, 100 Count
One of our top picks for everyday clinical and home exam use. With more than 103,000 Amazon ratings, it's the most-reviewed nitrile exam glove in our testing, and its powder-free, latex-free nitrile formulation clears the FDA's ban on powdered exam gloves while removing Type I latex allergy risk entirely. FDA exam-grade clearance and consistent batch quality across our monitoring keep it in rotation as a dependable daily-use choice for clinicians and home caregivers alike.

MedPride Powder-Free Latex Exam Gloves, Medium, 100 Count
Recognized in our reviews for tactile sensitivity in hands-on clinical assessment. The natural latex material gives a conforming, second-skin fit that synthetic gloves don't fully replicate, and 5 mil thickness provides a robust barrier while preserving that elasticity. It carries the same FDA exam-grade clearance and powder-free formulation as MedPride's nitrile line.
