Description

The Biogel PI Indicator System by Mölnlycke Health Care is an advanced surgical glove solution designed to enhance safety through superior puncture detection. This innovative system features a double-gloving design with a blue synthetic polyisoprene underglove and a straw-coloured overglove, both latex-free and powder-free. This configuration is particularly beneficial in environments where latex allergies are a concern, providing a reliable alternative without compromising on performance.

Key Features

• Puncture Detection: The unique colour combination of the gloves offers clear and immediate puncture indication, proven to detect up to 97% of glove perforations during double-gloving.
• Comfort and Fit: The gloves are designed with curved fingers and a beaded, anti-slip cuff, ensuring a comfortable fit that mimics a second skin, reducing hand fatigue.
• Easy Donning: Equipped with Biogel hydrogel polymer coating, the gloves allow for smooth donning, even with damp hands.

Quality and Safety

• Sterilization: Each glove is gamma irradiated for sterility and undergoes rigorous testing, including 100% air-inflation and visual inspection for holes.
• Low Endotoxin Levels: The gloves are non-pyrogenic with low endotoxin levels, making them suitable for sensitive surgical environments.
• Certifications: They are CE-marked, UKCA-marked, and FDA 510(k) cleared, meeting international standards such as EN 455 and ASTM D3577.

Physical Properties

• Durability: The gloves exhibit high tensile strength and elasticity, with thickness varying slightly across the cuff, palm, and fingers to balance protection and tactile sensitivity.
• Sizes Available: Offered in a range of sizes from 5.5 to 9, accommodating various hand sizes for both the underglove and overglove.

Packaging and Sustainability

• Packaging: Each box contains 40 to 50 pairs, with recyclable components and FSC certified paper, aligning with sustainability goals.
• Shelf Life: The gloves have a shelf life of three years and should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Intended Use

The Biogel PI Indicator System is ideal for a wide array of surgical procedures, including cardiovascular, neurosurgery, and orthopedic surgeries. It is especially recommended for healthcare professionals with latex sensitivities, providing enhanced tactile sensitivity and reducing the risk of latex-protein sensitization. Additionally, the "Micro" variant offers even greater tactile feedback, being 20–25% thinner than standard PI gloves.

This system represents a commitment to surgical safety and comfort, ensuring healthcare professionals can perform with confidence and precision.
