Benefits include reduced risk of wound contamination and lower potential for protein-related allergic reactions due to the low-protein content. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Performance is supported by non-clinical bench testing, including ASTM D 3577 (physical properties, dimensions), ASTM D 5151 (freedom from holes), ASTM D 6124 (powder-free residue), and biocompatibility testing (primary skin irritation and guinea pig sensitization). ## Technological Characteristics Natural rubber latex surgical glove; polymer coated; powder-free. Meets ASTM D 3577 (Type 1) for dimensions and physical properties. Meets ASTM D 5151 for freedom from holes and ASTM D 6124 for powder residue (<= 2 mg). Protein content <= 50 micrograms/gram. 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.
