I use nitrile exam gloves and I wash them before I do an oral exam. I know some people use finger cots but I have been unable to find nitrile finger cots that are made for exam use. All the ones I've found are for handling electronics.
I'm still not satisfied with my choice. I do not like vinyl gloves because I do not trust the plasticisers in the gloves but I'm not certain that nitrile is much better.
