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 Sterile, powder-free surgical gloves formulated from synthetic rubber latex. 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 passive physical barrier; no electronic or mechanical components. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Testing included primary skin irritation (non-irritating), guinea pig maximization (no sensitization), ultimate elongation and tensile strength (exceeds ASTM D3577-01), barrier defects (exceeds 21 CFR §800.20 and ASTM D3577-01, AQL = 1.5), and residual powder levels (below 2 mg/glove per ASTM D6124-00). ## Technological Characteristics Synthetic rubber latex material. Powder-free design. Sterile. Dimensions and physical properties meet ASTM D3577-01 standards. Barrier integrity meets 21 CFR §800.20 requirements. Residual powder levels verified per ASTM D6124-00. ## 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 - Esteem Sterile Polyisoprene Surgical Gloves ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
