Key Features
-
Color: The brown/tan hue of these gloves is specifically chosen to minimize surgical glare, thereby reducing eye fatigue during prolonged procedures.

Ergonomic Design: With an anatomically designed former, these gloves provide exceptional comfort and reduce hand fatigue. The extra soft formulation enhances dexterity and tactile sensitivity, making them ideal for intricate surgical tasks.
-
Grip and Surface: The gloves feature a smooth external surface with a micro-textured finish, offering a secure grip even in wet conditions. This moderate grip level ensures precise handling of surgical instruments.

Cuff Design: Equipped with SUREFIT™ Technology, the straight or beaded cuff prevents roll-down, maintaining a secure fit throughout use. These gloves can be used as either an outer glove or an underglove for double gloving.
Advanced Coating Technology
