PRODUCT INFORMATION

Bear Claw® Gloves

100% nitrile, latex-free exam and treatment gloves built longer and thicker than a standard exam glove — 11.8 in. of cuff at 6.0 mil through cuff, palm and finger. Textured fingertips for wet or dry grip, an extended beaded cuff for fast donning with gear on, and a sand colorway. Non-sterile, single-use, ambidextrous. NSN 6515-01-600-6059.

Cuff length is the specification people skip. It is also the one that decides whether your wrist is covered when your hand is inside a wound.

What's Included

Gloves only — one pack per order. Read the pack-size note below before you order: the legacy listing described the pack two different ways and does not offer a size selection.

VIEW ▾What Ships — one pack of Bear Claw® gloves

1 pack Bear Claw® Gloves, 100% nitrile, sand, 11.8 in. length, 6.0 mil, non-sterile, single-use, ambidextrous · NSN 6515-01-600-6059
Pack size — the legacy listing states this two ways and they do not agree. Its specification table says "Box of 50 pairs (45 pairs XL)" under SKU ZZ-0247, while its own FAQ identifies ZZ-0247 as the Medium 25-pair bag and gives 70-0010 / 70-0011 / 70-0012 as the separate 50-pair box numbers. Confirm the pack count before ordering to a requirement.
Size — this listing has a single variant and no size option. The copy describes Medium, Large and XL as available, but no size can be selected here. Confirm which size ships before ordering to a requirement.
No sterile packaging — these are non-sterile examination and treatment gloves
No dispenser, pouch or kit insert is included

▾Specifications

Bear Claw® Gloves — specifications

Specification	Detail
Manufacturer	North American Rescue
Material	100% nitrile — latex-free, safe for providers and patients with latex sensitivity
Thickness	6.0 mil at cuff, palm and finger, per the legacy specification table. A separate paragraph on the same legacy page said "6–8 mil at the finger/palm" — the two figures disagree and should be confirmed with the manufacturer.
Length	11.8 in.
Color	Sand (tan)
Fingertips	Textured — grip in wet or dry conditions
Cuff	Extended beaded cuff for rapid donning
Sterility	Non-sterile
Reuse	Single use — do not reuse, resterilize, clean or re-wear
Handedness	Ambidextrous
SKU	ZZ-0247 as listed in the legacy specification table. The same legacy page's FAQ assigns ZZ-0247 to the Medium 25-pair bag, and ZZ-0248 / ZZ-0249 to Large and XL. Confirm the SKU that corresponds to what this listing actually ships.
NSN	6515-01-600-6059 as published in the legacy listing header. The legacy FAQ published a different set of NSNs by size and pack — 25-pair bags: M 6515-01-619-5689, L 6515-01-600-0262, XL 6515-01-619-5367. These do not reconcile; verify before using any NSN for procurement.
Pack size	Stated as "Box of 50 pairs (45 pairs XL)" in the legacy specification table and as a 25-pair bag in the legacy FAQ. Unresolved.
Sizes described	Medium, Large, XL — described in the copy, but this listing offers no size option
Shelf life	Not published on the legacy listing
Standards / ratings	No ASTM, EN or chemical-permeation rating published on the legacy listing

Two figures on this page are carried as unresolved rather than reconciled: glove thickness (6.0 mil vs 6–8 mil) and pack size and part number (50-pair box under ZZ-0247 vs 25-pair bag under ZZ-0247). Both come from the legacy listing, which stated each of them both ways. Confirm with North American Rescue before ordering to a written requirement or quoting an NSN.

▾Who Carries It

Military medics issuing an NSN-cataloged tactical glove · Law enforcement, fire and rescue needing a durable barrier for trauma response and scene handling · EMS agencies standardising on a longer-cuff patient-care glove · Training programs issuing gloves per student per skills lane · Kit builders pre-staging a pair inside an IFAK and a second pair on the outside.

Scope of practice. Donning gloves needs no special authorisation, and gloves are the first step of casualty care under TCCC and TECC PPE practice. But a glove is barrier protection, not immunity: exposure control, sharps handling and post-exposure procedure are governed by your agency's policy and your medical direction. Nothing on this page is a treatment guideline.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are Bear Claw® gloves latex-free?

Yes. Bear Claw® Ultimate Nitrile Gloves are made from 100% nitrile material and are completely free of the allergens found in standard latex gloves. This makes them safe for providers or patients with latex sensitivities while delivering superior chemical resistance and durability compared to latex alternatives.

What makes Bear Claw® gloves better than standard nitrile exam gloves?

Bear Claw® gloves are both longer (11.8 inches vs. a typical 9–10 inch exam glove) and thicker (6.0 mils throughout cuff, palm, and fingers) than standard nitrile gloves, providing enhanced barrier protection during trauma care. The textured fingertips maintain grip in wet or bloody conditions, and the extended beaded cuff allows rapid donning even over other gloves or gear.

What sizes are available for Bear Claw® gloves?

Bear Claw® gloves are available in Medium, Large, and Extra Large. They are ambidextrous and packaged 50 pairs per box (45 pairs for XL). The sand color and design are consistent across all sizes.

Do Bear Claw® gloves have a NATO stock number?

Yes. Bear Claw® Ultimate Nitrile Gloves carry NATO NSN 6515-01-600-6059, confirming their qualification and procurement availability for military and government agencies. This designation reflects the gloves' compliance with military materiel standards for personal protective equipment.

Are Bear Claw® gloves suitable for use during hemorrhage control procedures?

Yes. Bear Claw® gloves are specifically designed for trauma and emergency medical use, including wound packing, tourniquet application, and direct pressure hemorrhage control. The extended cuff length protects the wrist during deep wound packing, while the textured grip and appropriate thickness support fine motor control needed for precision trauma interventions.

Are Bear Claw® Gloves latex-free?

Yes. Bear Claw® Gloves are manufactured from 100% nitrile material and are completely free of latex allergens. They are safe for patients and providers with latex sensitivities.

What sizes are available and what are the NSNs?

Medium: 25-pr bag ZZ-0247 (NSN 6515-01-619-5689), Large: 25-pr bag ZZ-0248 (NSN 6515-01-600-0262), XL: 25-pr bag ZZ-0249 (NSN 6515-01-619-5367). Box quantities carry separate NSNs: M 70-0010, L 70-0011, XL 70-0012.

Are Bear Claw® Gloves single-use or reusable?

Single-use only. Do not reuse, resterilize, or attempt to clean and re-wear. Single-use design maintains barrier integrity and prevents cross-contamination between patients.

What training is required to use these gloves?

No specialized training is required for donning nitrile gloves. The beaded cuff design allows rapid one-handed or two-handed donning consistent with emergency glove-up training taught in all TCCC and TECC curricula.

Are Bear Claw® Gloves compatible with TCCC protocols?

Yes. Bear Claw® Gloves are the standard PPE glove specified in NAR TCCC kit configurations across all tiers. They appear in the EAGLE IFAK, CCRK, WALK, and virtually all NAR kit configurations as the included PPE glove.
