As mentioned, exam or medical-grade gloves must meet a series of FDA regulations in order to be marketed as exam grade. Disposable or General Purpose gloves are, in fact, exam grade gloves that did not quite pass the FDA mandated quality control tests. While no one intentionally manufactures a Disposable / General Purpose glove, DirectGlove gloves are manufactured as medical grade gloves, yet do undergo the final steps of the FDA testing process. This gives DirectGlove Disposable grade gloves a near-exam level of quality.
