Description

Protexis Sterile Latex Powder Free Gloves are expertly crafted for professionals in medical, surgical, clinical, laboratory, and veterinary environments. Made from natural rubber latex, these gloves offer a powder-free design that enhances safety and comfort during prolonged use.

Anatomical Fit

The gloves feature a proprietary hand mold with an independent thumb design, providing an anatomical fit that allows for natural movement in the fingers, thumb, and palm. This design ensures exceptional dexterity and comfort, making them ideal for intricate procedures.

Cuff Design

Equipped with an interlocking, beaded cuff, these gloves are designed to reduce roll-down, maintaining a secure fit throughout use. The smooth finish enhances tactile sensitivity, offering advanced grip and control.

Color Options

Available in brown or cream, the color of the gloves is intended to blend with the wearer’s skin tone and minimize glare from surgical lighting, creating an optimal working environment.

The water-based hydrogel or nitrile polymer coating facilitates easier donning and enhances durability, while also contributing to the glove’s biodegradability when buried over several years.

Sizing and Packaging

Available in sizes ranging from 6.0 to 9.0, the gloves are sized based on palm circumference and glove length. They are supplied in boxes of 50 gloves or 50 pairs, with each glove individually packed to ensure maximum sterility.

Intended Use

These gloves are suitable for general surgery, trauma, reconstructive surgery, and serve effectively as a top or outer layer in double-gloving systems. They provide a reliable barrier against bacteria and viruses, aligning with FDA and ASTM standards, including ASTM D 3577, ASTM D 5151, ASTM D 5712, ASTM D 6124, and AS/NZS 4179.

Considerations

Potential users should be aware of latex sensitivity, as these gloves may cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Additionally, while they offer excellent protection, they are less resistant to certain chemicals and punctures compared to nitrile gloves.
