Device Story

Profeel Powder Free Surgical Gloves are natural rubber latex gloves designed for use by healthcare and operating room personnel. The device acts as a physical barrier to prevent cross-contamination between personnel and patients, including exposure to body fluids, waste, or the environment. The gloves are manufactured to meet ASTM D3577-91 standards and feature a protein content labeling claim of 50 micrograms or less per gram. They are intended for use in clinical and surgical settings to maintain sterile fields and protect both the wearer and the patient.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance data compared against ASTM D3577-91 requirements, including 1000 ml watertight testing (passed at AQL 1.0), dimensions (length and palm width), and physical properties (tensile strength and ultimate elongation before and after aging). Protein content was measured using ASTM D5712, confirming levels below 50 micrograms/gram. Powder content was measured at below 2 mg/glove.

Technological Characteristics

Natural rubber latex surgeon glove. Meets ASTM D3577-91 standards. Powder-free (below 2 mg/glove). Protein content below 50 micrograms/gram. Dimensions and physical properties (tensile strength, elongation) verified against ASTM specifications. Sterilization method not specified.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by operating room personnel to protect surgical wounds from contamination. Device is made of natural rubber latex.

Regulatory Classification

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.
