Biogel® PI OrthoPro® is a synthetic, powder-free, sterile, polyisoprene, surgical glove with increased thickness for extra protection and the fit, feel and comfort of natural latex. This sterile surgical glove is produced on a biomechanically optimized former to reduce hand and thumb fatigue during surgery. Biogel® PI OrthoPro® features an extended cuff, and is 13% thicker than Biogel® PI to provide durability and extra protection during more rigorous and/or longer procedures.
Recommended for all orthopedic surgeries, where robust barrier protection is necessary or surgeries where latex allergies are a concern for patients or clinicians. It can be used alone or as an overglove with Biogel® PI Micro Indicator® Underglove to create a double-gloving combination with the Biogel® Puncture Indication® System™ that detects 97% of glove perforations.

You can wear Biogel PI OrthoPro as a single glove or as an underglove in combination with Biogel PI Pro-Fit to create a double gloving system – for improved protection of both you and your patients.
The synthetic (non-latex) powder-free design avoids the risks of glove-related latex-sensitivities in staff and patients.

Double-gloving with a Biogel overglove and underglove creates the Biogel Puncture Indication System that detects 97% of glove perforations. (1)
A clinical study shows non-Biogel gloves are 3.5 times more likely to fail than Biogel gloves. (2)

Biogel PI OrthoPro Synthetic (non-latex) Surgical Glove with Increased Thickness
A recent published study analyzed the clinical and operational costs related to the use of natural rubber latex gloves. The study found that the costs associated with latex allergy events and latex-related O.R. teardowns outweighed the line-item costs of synthetic or latex-free gloves. After the facility converted to Biogel synthetic gloves, they were able to reduce their overall costs by 25%, saving over $74,000.
