Sensitive—A Groundbreaking
Surgical Glove
A complete surgical glove solution
Ansell, the global leader in hand protection, is proud to introduce
the GAMMEX® Non-Latex Accelerator-Free Sensitive glove.
The new SENSOPRENE® non-latex, accelerator-free formulation
delivers a unique surgical glove offering unprecedented comfort
and sensitivity with advanced allergy protection (both latex and
chemical allergies) for both healthcare workers and patients.
Ansell’s uncompromising commitment
to product innovation
Ansell continuously strives to provide the highest levels of allergy
protection for healthcare workers and patients. Our relentless pursuit
of innovation is the driving force behind the GAMMEX® Non-Latex
product line. This line features a wide range of customized options
that incorporate new non-latex materials and new technologies to
help reduce latex allergies and minimize chemical allergic reactions.
The innovations of the GAMMEX® Non-Latex product line include:
• The first accelerator-free surgical glove
• A complete line of polyisoprene gloves with no
diphenylguanidine (DPG), a common accelerator
known to cause a chemical allergic reaction
Now, Ansell extends the GAMMEX® product range with another
non-latex glove innovation—the GAMMEX® Non-Latex Accelerator-Free
Sensitive glove.
The need to go beyond non-latex
While many hospitals worldwide have switched to non-latex
gloves to reduce the incidence of latex allergic reactions
among healthcare workers and patients, chemical allergies,
also called type IV allergies, have increased steadily.1 In fact,
clinical evidence shows that 33% of glove-related reactions
are chemical allergies, while 17% are latex allergies.2,3
