Medline DermAssure Green Powder-Free Surgical Gloves

More About DermAssure Green Surgical Gloves

• DermAssure: First there were powder-free surgical gloves. Then there were surgical gloves made without natural rubber latex. Now there is Medline DermAssure Green - an advanced surgical glove made without natural rubber latex, without powder and without chemical accelerators to enhance performance and promote safety while double gloving. The new standard in surgical gloves:
  - Universal application
  - Excellent tactile sensitivity
  - No cuff roll down
  - Outstanding comfort
  - Bonds with outer glove
  - Safety - Double-gloving
• Chemical Accelerators: They are added to the glove formulation during the manufacturing process to help make them more durable and provide elasticity. Accelerators are used in both latex and synthetic gloves
• Advancing Comfort and Tactile Sensitivity:
  - DermAssure Green is manufactured with a technologically advanced formulation that is not made with chemical accelerators but still provides the outstanding comfort and performance you expect and need
  - DermAssure Green is made with next-generation synthetic materials for a soft feel and enhanced tactile sensitivity. The secret to DermAssure success is a new polychloroprene formulation that provides an enhanced fit and flexibility to reduce hand fatigue and allow for more natural movement compared to current accelerator-free and synthetic gloves
• Double Gloving with DermAssure Green:
  - The risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens is a major concern for surgeons and operating room staff. Often undetectable to the human eye, micro-perforations in surgical gloves are large enough to allow pathogens to pass between the glove wearer and the patient and cause infection
  - The evidence for double gloving is overwhelming and it is quickly becoming standard practice. The CDC has endorsed double gloving as have the seven members of the Council on Surgical & Perioperative Safety, which includes the American College of Surgeons, AORN, the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and the Association of Surgical Technologists
  - Double-gloving can reduce the risk of exposure to blood and bodily fluid by as much as 87% if the outer glove is punctured
  - In one study, more than three-fourths (77%) of 582 glove wearers who wore a color-coded double-glove system detected glove perforations
• DermAssure Green Exceeds Industry Quality Standards:
  - Surgeons and staff can feel confident knowing that Medline DermAssure Green surgical gloves are 100% inspected for pinholes, tears, and visual defects. Medlines 0.65 AQL is 57% more stringent than the FDA requires. Medline testing also meets or exceeds ASTM, EN and ISO standards
  - Medline DermAssure Green has been tested for use with chemotherapy drugs
