Ansell ENCORE® Latex Micro Powder Free gloves

This product consists of powder-free, natural rubber latex surgical gloves designed for medical professionals. The gloves are engineered to provide a barrier against the transmission of microorganisms, thereby reducing the risk of cross-contamination between healthcare providers and patients, and protecting against potential infections. The material is natural rubber latex, a common choice for surgical applications due to its elasticity and tactile sensitivity.

These gloves are supplied in packs of 50 pairs, with available sizes including 6.5, 7.0, and 7.

5, to accommodate a range of hand dimensions. The external surface features a smooth finish with micro-texturing to enhance grip, while the internal surface is polymer-coated using DERMASHIELD Technology to facilitate donning and doffing, even in damp conditions, and to minimize potential skin irritation from latex proteins. The distinctive brown coloration is intended to reduce visual glare in surgical environments and to aid in the immediate detection of glove perforations.

The micro-thin construction, approximately 20% thinner than standard surgical gloves, is intended to optimize tactile feedback and dexterity, which can be beneficial during procedures requiring fine motor skills and precision. The beaded cuff incorporates SUREFIT Technology, designed to help prevent the glove from rolling down the arm during use. These gloves are intended for single use and should not be resterilized.

Proper storage in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight is recommended to maintain product integrity. The packaging should be inspected for damage prior to use, and the product should be kept out of reach of children. These gloves are suitable for use by surgeons, nurses, dentists, and other healthcare professionals involved in invasive procedures or patient care where a sterile barrier is required.

Typical applications include general surgery, specialized surgical procedures, examinations, and any situation demanding a high level of protection and tactile sensitivity. The focus on reduced thickness and enhanced grip aims to support prolonged use by minimizing hand fatigue, contributing to sustained performance during lengthy operations. The polymer coating is also designed to reduce the risk of latex-related allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to natural rubber latex proteins.
