## Intended Use

The powderfree, polymer coated, sterile surgeon's glove is a disposable device made of natural rubber latex that is intended to be worn on the hands, usually in surgical settings, to provide a barrier against potentially infectious materials and other contaminants.

## Device Story

The Double™ Glove is a sterile, powder-free, natural rubber latex surgeon's glove featuring a Single-Donning™ design with two discrete layers fused at the wrist. Used in surgical settings by physicians and clinical staff, the device acts as a physical barrier to protect both the wearer and the patient from infectious materials and contaminants. The glove is donned as a single unit, providing the protection of a double-glove system without the complexity of donning two separate pairs. It benefits the patient and clinician by reducing the risk of cross-contamination and exposure to pathogens during surgical procedures.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing confirming compliance with ASTM D 3577 standards for physical properties, dimensions, and freedom from holes, as well as successful biocompatibility testing (primary skin irritation and guinea pig sensitization).

## Technological Characteristics

Material: Natural rubber latex. Design: Single-donning double-layer fused at the wrist. Coating: Polymer. Standards: Meets ASTM D 3577 (Type I). Biocompatibility: Passed primary skin irritation and guinea pig sensitization tests. Sterilization: Sterile.

## 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.
