Medline SensiCare Micro Powder-Free Surgical Gloves

SensiCare Micro Powder-Free Surgical Gloves Features

• Latex-free and sterile
• Ideal for double gloving in cardiac, trauma, ortho, and high-risk procedures
• Excellent choice as an over glove in combination with the SensiCare Green under glove
• Designed with neurosurgery, cardiovascular surgery, plastic surgery, and ophthalmology procedures in mind
• Synthetic polymer coating for effortless damp hand donning and double gloving
• ARC (anti-roll down cuff) was designed to reduce cuff roll-down common with most powder-free gloves
• Anatomical, curved former designed to enhance comfort and reduce hand fatigue
• Tapered, beaded cuff design to prevent roll down
• Reinforced material prevents tearing
• Tactile Sensitivity: 15% thinner than SensiCare with Aloe surgical glove
• Isolex: Medline SensiCare surgical gloves are made from Isolex, a proprietary synthetic polyisoprene. This material has a molecular structure virtually identical to natural rubber latex but without the harmful latex proteins. As a result, SensiCare Surgical gloves are softer, more elastic, and more comfortable than latex to satisfy clinical needs and support safety initiatives
• Under Glove:
  - Low-protein latex and synthetic Polyisoprene options available
  - Powder-free and coated with pure Aloe Vera to moisturize skin
  - Synthetic polymer coating for effortless damp hand donning and double gloving
  - Constructed on our surgeon preference-inspired formers to minimize hand fatigue
  - Thinner than standard gloves to enhance sensitivity
• Better protection and faster identification: 
  - A study by the American College of Surgeons showed double gloving reduces the risk of exposure to patient blood by as much as 87% when the outer glove is punctured
  - According to a clinical study in the AORN Journal, when using a contrasting color underglove, 84% of perforations were recognized in an average of 22 seconds, whereas 8% of perforations were identified in 47 seconds when using a single glove

Why Double Gloving is Important?

• The risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens is a major concern for surgeons and their staff.
• A recent study reported that over 80% of all surgical glove perforations go unnoticed.
• Another study reported that the incidence of glove micro perforations increased with duration of wear.
• Although often undetectable to the human eye, even micro perforations are large enough to allow pathogens to pass between glove wearer and the patient and cause infection.
• A proven method to reduce these risks is to double glove with a dark colored under glove.

How Double Gloving System Work?

• The wearer dons the specially designed darker colored under glove as the first layer of protection followed by a light-colored or translucent over glove.
• In the event that the outer glove is breached during surgery, blood and other fluids seep between the two glove layers, and the contrasting color of the dark green under glove alerts the wearer to change gloves.
• Changing gloves immediately following the breach minimizes the risk of transmission of pathogens between the wearer and the patient.
