## Intended Use
Powder free Surgeon's glove is a sterile powder free medical device intended to be worn by operating room personnel to protect a surgical wound from contamination.
## Device Story
Sterile, powder-free latex surgeon's glove; worn by operating room personnel; provides barrier protection for surgical wounds against contamination. Device manufactured to meet ASTM D3577 standards for dimensions, physical properties (tensile strength, elongation), and freedom from holes. Used in clinical/surgical settings; manual application by healthcare providers. Benefits include reduced risk of wound contamination and minimized powder-related complications.
## Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance data confirms compliance with ASTM D3577 requirements for length, width, thickness, tensile strength (27 MPa before aging, 20 MPa after), elongation at break (850% before, 750% after), and protein content (80 +/- 20 ppm). Biocompatibility confirmed.
## Technological Characteristics
Latex surgeon's glove; powder-free. Dimensions and physical properties comply with ASTM D3577. Thickness: 0.12mm (cuff), 0.16mm (palm), 0.19mm (finger tip). Protein content: 80 +/- 20 ppm. Moisture content: 0.8% max. Biocompatible. Sterilization per Indian Pharmacopeia/USP 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.

Dear Mr. N. Paramasivan:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
