Ansell GAMMEX PI Hybrid Surgical glove

The Ansell GAMMEX PI Hybrid Surgical Glove is a powder-free, non-latex surgical glove designed for medical professionals requiring reliable hand protection during surgical procedures. Constructed from a proprietary blend of polyisoprene (PI) and neoprene (polychloroprene) in a 50:50 ratio, these gloves offer a combination of comfort and resilience. The material composition aims to provide a feel similar to natural rubber latex while incorporating the enhanced durability characteristic of neoprene.

This hybrid formulation is intended to reduce the risk of latex allergies, a significant concern in healthcare settings, and has also been formulated to eliminate a range of allergens commonly associated with allergic contact dermatitis. The gloves are natural in color and feature a standard thickness, suitable for a variety of surgical applications. A beaded cuff with SUREFIT™ Technology is incorporated to assist with secure donning and to help prevent roll-down during use.

Available in sizes 6.5, 7.0, and 7.

5, these gloves are designed to accommodate a range of hand sizes for optimal fit and dexterity. The semi-transparent nature of the glove makes it suitable for use as an outer glove in double gloving techniques, facilitating the detection of breaches in the inner glove. Furthermore, these gloves have undergone testing according to ASTM D6978 standards and are indicated for use with a range of chemotherapy drugs, providing an additional layer of protection for healthcare providers handling cytotoxic agents.

The ergonomic design has been certified by United States Ergonomics, with reported reductions in hand muscle effort, potentially contributing to reduced fatigue during prolonged surgical procedures. These gloves are intended for use by surgeons, nurses, technicians, and other healthcare professionals involved in invasive procedures and patient care where sterile barrier protection is required. Typical applications include general surgery, specialized surgical procedures, and any clinical setting where protection against biological fluids and chemical agents is necessary.

It is important to ensure proper sizing for optimal performance and to follow established protocols for donning and doffing sterile gloves to maintain aseptic technique.
