Powder-Free - A Solution to Reduce Contamination Concerns
INtouch® POWDER FREE Natural Rubber Latex Surgical Gloves, Sterile
Intouch surgical gloves are an alternative choice over powdered gloves as these do not contain implement powder free zones or are regulated to only use powder free medical devices as the powder could be more susceptible to attracting latex proteins, leading to type I hypersensitivity among some users and patients. Furthermore, healthcare agencies are now concerned about reducing infection rates from post surgical operations by switching away from powdered gloves. Therefore Intouch surgical gloves are one of the greatest choices for healthcare agencies, doctors and those pharmacies.
INtouch® POWDER FREE surgical gloves come in two types of surface finish, providing choices in grip selection. Ref. No. INTW10xx with single chlorination on the working surface to provide a medium grip for instrument handling and Ref.No.INTW05xx provides a stronger grip on the working surface. Both gloves are polymer coated on the donning surface to promote ease of dry hand donning.
