Synthetic (non-latex) surgical glove with enhanced sensitivity and softness with extra grip.
A sterile, powder-free, non-latex polyisoprene glove that reduces the possibility of glove-related latex protein sensitization because it is made from a synthetic elastomer. The gloves provide levels of fit, feel and comfort comparable to natural rubber latex because synthetic polyisoprene shares a similar molecular structure to natural rubber latex. Typically 15% thinner than Biogel® PI, it has a specially treated surface for improved sensitivity with extra grip and control.
Recommended for use in microvascular, cardiothoracic, ENT, plastic, neurosurgical, gynecological and general surgical procedures or surgeries where latex allergies are a concern for patients or clinicians.
Tested according to ASTM 6978-05 and approved for use with chemotherapy agents. Please refer to permeation details for breakthrough times.
Designed with a specially treated surface for improved sensitivity with extra grip and control.

Polyisoprene (non-latex) to avoid latex sensitivities
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)
