The gloves are appropriate for use during invasive and non-invasive medical procedures requiring sterility. They are intended to be worn by operating room personnel to protect a surgical wound from contamination. ## Device Story Esteem Sterile Polyisoprene Surgical gloves are powder-free, sterile, synthetic rubber latex gloves. Used by operating room personnel in hospitals and healthcare facilities during invasive and non-invasive medical procedures. Primary function is to provide a sterile barrier to protect surgical wounds from contamination. Device is a physical barrier; no electronic or software components. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Testing included intracutaneous reactivity and Guinea Pig Maximization (no sensitization potential). Physical testing met ASTM D3577-00 requirements for ultimate elongation and tensile strength. Barrier integrity met 21 CFR 800.20 and ASTM D3577-00 (AQL = 1.5). Residual powder levels met ASTM D6124-97 (< 2 mg/glove). ## Technological Characteristics Material: Synthetic rubber latex. Form factor: Sterile surgical glove. Standards: ASTM D3577-00 (tensile strength, elongation, barrier defects), ASTM D6124-97 (residual powder). Sterilization: Sterile. No software or electronic components. ## Regulatory Identification A non-powdered surgeon's glove is a device intended to be worn on the hands of operating room personnel to protect a surgical wound from contamination. A non-powdered surgeon's glove does not incorporate powder for purposes other than manufacturing. The final finished glove includes only residual powder from manufacturing. ## Predicate Devices - Duraprene Powder-Free Sterile Synthetic Surgical Gloves ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
