## Indications for Use

A patient examination glove is a disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hands or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner.

## Device Story

Polymer-coated, powder-free latex examination glove; disposable; worn on examiner's hands or fingers. Functions as a physical barrier to prevent cross-contamination between patient and examiner in medical settings. Manufactured to meet ASTM D3578-01a requirements for watertight integrity, physical dimensions, and tensile strength. Protein content labeled as 50 micrograms or less per gram. Used by healthcare professionals during patient examinations.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance data demonstrates compliance with ASTM D3578-01a standards, including 1000 ml watertight testing, physical dimensions, tensile strength (21.1 MPa before aging, 16.7 MPa after aging), and ultimate elongation. Powder content is <2mg/glove; protein content is <50 micrograms/gram. Biocompatibility testing included primary dermal irritation and guinea pig sensitization (Buehler test), which the device passed.

## Technological Characteristics

Latex patient examination glove; polymer-coated; powder-free. Meets ASTM D3578-01a standards. Physical properties: tensile strength >14.0 MPa, elongation >650% (before aging). Thickness >0.10 mm. Biocompatible per primary dermal irritation and guinea pig sensitization tests.

## Regulatory Identification

A non-powdered patient examination glove is a disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hand or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. A non-powdered patient examination glove does not incorporate powder for purposes other than manufacturing. The final finished glove includes only residual powder from manufacturing.
