Personal protective equipment, including medical gloves and masks, are generally FSA-eligible, though you should check with your insurance provider to ensure coverage before you stock up. You have plenty of options when choosing exam gloves. Latex gloves are a common option used for everyday medical care and first aid. Individuals with a latex allergy might prefer nitrile gloves or other latex-free options. Nitrile gloves tend to be more puncture resistant than latex or vinyl exam gloves. Disposable gloves designed for other uses, such as food service, applying tintura para cabello or cleaning, may not be FSA-eligible. ﻿
