Disposable sterile surgical glove; made from Allotex® enzyme-treated natural rubber latex. Functions as a physical barrier against body fluids and bloodborne pathogens. Designed to conform to the hand for dexterity during medical procedures. Used in hospitals and healthcare facilities by surgical personnel. Provides protection to surgical wounds from contamination. Features a labeled protein content claim (50 micrograms or less per gram of glove) achieved through enzyme treatment and a leaching/washing process to remove chemical accelerants.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical trials were performed. Safety was established through non-clinical bench testing and historical clinical data regarding skin irritation and sensitization, which met or exceeded requirements. Performance standards for water tightness and tensile properties were verified against ASTM D3577-00 and ASTM D5151-99.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Allotex® enzyme-treated natural rubber latex. Design: Powdered surgical glove. Standards: ASTM D3577-00 (tensile properties), ASTM D5151-99 (water tightness), ASTM D5712-99 (residual protein). Manufacturing includes leaching and washing to remove chemical accelerants.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by operating room personnel during invasive and non-invasive medical procedures requiring sterility to protect surgical wounds from contamination.

Regulatory Classification

Identification
