What is the difference between medical-grade nitrile gloves and nitrile gloves?

What's the difference between powdered and powder-free nitrile gloves?
Powdered gloves have cornstarch on them to make them easier to put on and reduce the sweat those wearing them produce. Powder-free gloves do not have cornstarch and tend to cause less skin irritation.
