Manufactured from vinyl; powdered with absorbable dusting starch (USP). Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers. Provides protection through material integrity; verified via water leak testing and physical property testing (tensile strength/elongation).

## Clinical Evidence

Clinical evidence includes a Modified Draize Test conducted on human subjects to evaluate skin irritation and allergic contact dermatitis potential. Results indicated the device did not induce clinically significant irritation or allergic contact dermatitis.

## Technological Characteristics

Vinyl patient examination glove; powdered with absorbable dusting starch (USP). Dimensions and physical properties (tensile strength, elongation) conform to ASTM D5250-92. Barrier integrity verified via FDA 1000 ml water leak test (AQL 4.0).
