Surgeon's glove (powdered) is a sterile medical device made of natural latex intended to be worn by operating room personnel to protect a surgical wound from contamination and is powdered with absorbable dusting powder USP corn starch as the donning lubricant.

## Device Story

Sterile, powdered natural latex surgical glove; intended for use by operating room personnel. Protects surgical wounds from contamination. Features USP corn starch as donning lubricant. Device performance verified against ASTM D3577 standards for dimensions, physical properties (tensile strength, elongation), and sterility. Used in clinical/surgical settings.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance verified against ASTM D3577 for dimensions, tensile strength, elongation at break, sterility, and protein content.

## Technological Characteristics

Natural latex surgical glove; powdered with USP corn starch. Dimensions and physical properties (tensile strength, elongation) comply with ASTM D3577. Biocompatible. Sterilized per Indian Pharmacopeia standards.

## 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

- Class I Surgeon's Glove (Powdered) 79KGO (meets ASTM D3577)

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
