Biogel Skinsense Surgical Gloves are sterile, designed for clinicians who require strong barrier protection without latex exposure. Made from polychloroprene, these gloves are an alternative for healthcare professionals and patients with latex sensitivities. They are used during surgery, chemotherapy handling, and other high-risk procedures where glove integrity is critical.
Each glove features a Biogel polymer coating that makes donning and doffing easier, even with damp hands, while ensuring a comfortable second-skin fit. The micro-roughened surface enhances grip, and the beaded cuff provides extra security against fluid roll-down. These gloves are ASTM 6978-05 tested, making them suitable for chemotherapy drug use, and they have been clinically shown to have a lower failure rate compared to similar non-latex gloves. For healthcare environments focused on infection prevention, the design helps reduce the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs) while protecting staff from occupational exposure.
