Description

Gammex Non-Latex Surgical Gloves by Ansell are expertly crafted to meet the rigorous demands of healthcare professionals. These sterile, powder-free gloves are designed to provide exceptional protection, particularly for those with latex (Type I) and chemical (Type IV) allergies. Their versatility makes them suitable for all surgical procedures, including high-risk and long-duration surgeries, as well as laboratory and chemical handling applications.

Material and Design

Constructed from fully synthetic materials such as neoprene or polyisoprene, these gloves are entirely free from natural rubber latex proteins and chemical accelerators. This composition significantly reduces the risk of allergic reactions. Available primarily in green, with some models in white, they offer a standard thickness with select models being 50% thicker for specialized use in orthopaedics.

The gloves feature a straight or beaded cuff with SUREFIT™ Technology to prevent roll-down and ensure a secure fit. The extended cuff design provides additional protection, varying by model. Their anatomic shape offers a curved fit, enhancing comfort and reducing hand fatigue.

Performance and Grip

The external surface of the gloves is smooth and micro-textured, providing enhanced grip and instrument handling. Inside, the DERMASHIELD™ Technology coating facilitates easy donning on both dry and damp hands, allowing for seamless intra-operative changes. These features ensure high sensitivity, dexterity, and moderate grip level, crucial for precise surgical tasks.

Protection Features

Gammex Non-Latex Surgical Gloves excel in preventing Type I latex allergies and minimizing Type IV chemical allergies. They are rigorously tested for resistance against chemotherapy drugs and a wide range of chemicals, including water, alcohol, oils, and solvents. Their high tensile strength, flexibility, and durability offer excellent protection against pinholes and tears.

The gloves meet stringent standards for viral penetration resistance and maintain a low AQL of 0.65, indicating superior quality control. They are available in sizes ranging from 5.5 to 9, catering to a broad spectrum of hand sizes.

Environmental Commitment

Ansell demonstrates a strong commitment to environmental responsibility. The gloves are manufactured in facilities utilizing renewable energy sources, with packaging made from at least 70% recycled materials. The packaging is also recyclable, aligning with Ansell's efforts to divert over 99% of waste from landfills.

Storage and Disposal

With a shelf life of three years, these gloves should be stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and ignition sources. Disposal guidelines recommend treating the gloves and pouch as clinical waste, while paper and carton materials can be recycled or disposed of similarly.

Gammex Non-Latex Surgical Gloves embody a blend of advanced protection, superior performance, and environmental stewardship, making them an invaluable asset in any medical or laboratory setting.
