Who Uses Biogel Skinsense Surgical Gloves? These gloves are used in healthcare settings, especially during surgeries or chemotherapy procedures where latex allergies are a concern for clinicians or patients.
Why They Love It: These sterile, powder-free, synthetic gloves conform to hands like a second skin. They provide extra protection while handling chemotherapy agents due to their longer chemical breakthrough time. The micro-roughened surface and beaded cuff design protect against glove failure to reduce surgical site infections (SSIs) among patients.
Biogel Skinsense Surgical Gloves Overview
Biogel Skinsense Non-Latex Gloves are a high-performance surgical glove that is safe to use during surgery and with chemotherapy agents. They're made from the synthetic elastomer polychloroprene to reduce the possibility of glove-related latex protein sensitization. The glove interior is coated with Biogel, a proprietary polymer that makes donning and doffing easy, even when the hands are damp. This coating also helps with glove conformity so that the gloves act as a second skin. These durable exam gloves have been clinically proven to outperform similar gloves. Their lower failure rate helps to support staff safety and reduce the risk of SSIs.
