Description
The Biogel PI Micro Indicator Underglove is an advanced surgical glove designed to enhance safety and performance in the operating room. Crafted from synthetic polyisoprene, this blue, sterile, and powder-free glove is an integral part of the Biogel Puncture Indication System, offering healthcare professionals a reliable solution for double-gloving.
Enhanced Tactile Sensitivity
Approximately 20% thinner than the standard Biogel PI Indicator Underglove, this glove provides superior tactile sensitivity and comfort. It is particularly beneficial in procedures where extra sensitivity is required, allowing surgeons to maintain a precise touch while reducing the risk of latex-protein sensitization.
Puncture Indication System
The glove's design includes a unique puncture indication feature when used with a Biogel PI overglove. This system provides clear, fast, and large perforation detection, proven to identify up to 97% of punctures, thereby significantly enhancing surgical safety.
Design and Fit
The Biogel PI Micro Indicator Underglove features a smooth or micro-roughened surface for easy donning, along with a beaded, anti-slip cuff. Its anatomical fit with curved fingers conforms to the hand, reducing fatigue and ensuring comfort during long surgical procedures.
Quality and Compliance
Each glove undergoes rigorous quality control, including 100% air inflation testing and visual inspection. With an AQL of 0.65 and a process average of less than 0.20%, the glove meets high standards of reliability. It complies with various international standards, including ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and ASTM D3577, and holds certifications such as CE Mark and 510(k) clearance.
Sterilization and Storage
Sterilized through gamma irradiation, the glove maintains a shelf life of three years. Proper storage in a dry place at temperatures between 5–25°C is recommended to preserve its integrity.
Physical Properties
The glove's physical properties include specific thickness measurements at the cuff, palm, and fingers, along with impressive tensile strength and elongation at break, both initially and after aging. These attributes contribute to its durability and performance under demanding conditions.
Sizing and Packaging
Available in sizes ranging from 5.5 to 9, the gloves are packaged with 50 pairs per box for most sizes, and 40 pairs per box for size 9. Each pair is individually packed, with options for recyclable and clinical waste disposal, supporting environmentally responsible practices.
Recommended Use
Manufactured by Mölnlycke Health Care Sdn Bhd in Malaysia, the Biogel PI Micro Indicator Underglove is suitable for a wide range of surgical procedures, including cardiovascular, endovascular, ENT, general abdominal, and more. Its design and features make it an ideal choice for healthcare professionals seeking enhanced protection and performance in the surgical environment.
