Handling liquid nitrogen leaves no room for improvising with ordinary gloves. These high protection gloves are made for cryogenic work, giving the hands and wrists a barrier against extreme cold when dewars, flasks and frozen samples are handled.
The insulation keeps the cold away from the skin while the glove stays loose enough to be pulled off quickly if liquid ever gets inside, which is the reason cryogenic gloves are shaped the way they are. They are for handling cold surfaces and containers, not for immersion.
They suit clinics, theatres and laboratories that store or dispense liquid nitrogen, including cryotherapy in day procedure rooms.
