## Intended Use

A device made of synthetic rubber intended to be worn by operating room personnel to protect a surgical wound from contamination.

## Device Story

Derma Prene® is a sterile, disposable, powder-free synthetic surgical glove. Used by operating room personnel to provide a barrier protecting surgical wounds from contamination. Device is manufactured from synthetic rubber (polychloroprene). Performance is verified against ASTM D 3577 (Type 2) standards for dimensions, physical properties, and freedom from holes (ASTM D 5151). Powder-free status confirmed via ASTM D 6124 (residue < 2 mg). Biocompatibility established via primary skin irritation and guinea pig sensitization testing. Device is intended for clinical use in surgical environments.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Evidence consists of bench testing confirming compliance with ASTM D 3577 (physical properties, dimensions), ASTM D 5151 (freedom from holes), and ASTM D 6124 (powder residue). Biocompatibility testing (primary skin irritation in rabbits, guinea pig sensitization) was performed.

## Technological Characteristics

Synthetic rubber (polychloroprene) surgical glove. Meets ASTM D 3577 (Type 2) for physical properties and dimensions. Meets ASTM D 5151 for freedom from holes. Meets ASTM D 6124 for powder-free residue (< 2 mg). Sterile, disposable.

## 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.
