A GROUNDBREAKING
SURGICAL GLOVE
A complete surgical glove solution
Ansell, the global leader in hand protection, is proud to
introduce the GAMMEX® Non-Latex Sensitive surgical glove.
The new SENSOPRENE® non-latex, chemical accelerator-free
formulation delivers a unique surgical glove, offering unprecedented
comfort and sensitivity with advanced allergy protection (against both
latex and chemical allergies) for 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® NonLatex product line. This line features a wide range of customized
options that incorporate new non-latex materials and technologies
to help reduce the risk of latex allergies as well as the first chemical
accelerator-free surgical glove to minimize chemical allergic reactions.
Now, Ansell extends the GAMMEX® product range with another nonlatex glove innovation—the GAMMEX® Non-Latex Sensitive surgical 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
