The FDA Standard Assurance Level

Sterile gloves are confirmed sterile if they are sterilized according to FDA protocol. The FDA has an Standard Assurance Level (SAL) that all sterilization techniques must meet or exceed. For this standard to be met, there must be a 1 in 1,000,000 (one in one million) probability that the glove is non-sterile. The accepted sterilization processes can sterilize gloves even if resistant microorganisms were there before sterilization. 

Usually, non-sterile gloves are sterilized by an individual other than the glove’s manufacturer. Following sterilization, the gloves have to be tested to confirm that they meet the FDA SAL.

Sterile Gloves Tend to Cost a Little More than Non-Sterile

Sterile gloves are mostly used for surgical activities. Due to the sterilization process, higher AQL minimums, and firm packaging standards, sterile gloves tend to be more expensive than non-sterile gloves.
