The ENCORE® 85 is a glove that offers ease-of-use with extra protection. Integrating Ansell`s exclusive powder-free technology, this glove features a protective polyurethane coating which not only protects the user but offers superior donning ability. A longer, beaded cuff with a sticky band adds extra protection for the user.

A glove with the strength to call itself both safe and sensitive

The main features of Gammex® PF make it easy to use, exceptionally comfortable and ultra safe. Combine this with superb grip and handling as well as ease of donning and this makes Gammex PF the most advanced product of choice. Because of the greatest attention to every aspect of the glove’s design and formulation, the Gammex® PF glove feels like a second skin. The Gammex® PF glove is recognised for its high degree of safety, providing a secure protective barrier and the unique polyurethane lining adds to this protection as well as easy donning during intra-operative changes.

The premier new-generation powder-free glove

Revolutionary new HydraSoft® technology from Ansell is designed to retain moisture and rehydrate your skin, despite the negative effects of continual glove-wearing and frequent contact with severe anti-bacterials. HydraSoft® helps keep your skin moist, supple while fulfilling its natural barrier function.

The powder-free surgical glove with a re-hydrating layer

Combined with frequent glove changes, double gloving (wearing two pairs of gloves) is probably one of the most effective methods to reduce exposure to blood-borne pathogens, as it reduces by a factor of 10 the number of potential exposures. Double gloving significantly reduces the perforation rate of the inner glove by at least 70% compared to single gloving. Gammex PF® Underglove is the new solution to your double gloving needs. Gammex PF® Underglove’s inner coating integrates Ansell’s exclusive HydraSoft® technology to moisturize and prevent your hands from drying out.

The most reliable protection gets its undercover partner

The new Gammex® PF Micro-Thin® powder-free surgical glove is specifically designed for microsurgical procedures. 15% thinner than standard powder-free latex surgical gloves such as Ansell’s Gammex® PF and with a special micro-textured outer surface, it offers outstanding tactility and grip in use.

Enhanced sensitivity and grip for micro-surgery

Ansell’s Gammex® PF Sensitive glove is designed to offer the best solution as a double gloving partner. This glove is 15% thinner than a typical surgical glove used in a double gloving system. Its thin latex composition, combined with superior stretch and flexibility, provide the highest levels of sensitivity and tactility, without compromising safety. The textured surface is designed to provide a sure grip in damp or dry environments. Chlorination of the inner surface makes it easy to don with an underglove like the Gammex® PF Underglove. The excellent tear resistance and very favourable strength-to-thickness ratio, ensures an assured protective barrier providing the wearer with safety and sensitivity.

The ideal double gloving partner

As the number of cancer patients rises, oncology nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals are increasingly coming into contact with hazardous cytostatics. The need for safe and comfortable gloves is ever more acute. Ansell has conducted extensive research into this area as part of its Ansell Cytostatic Permeation Programme (ACPP). As a result Ansell has developed the Gammex® PF XP™ (extra protection) glove.

Extra protection for handling cytostatic agents

Gammex® PF DermaPrene® offers a massive reduction in potential skin reactions and allergies. It minimises the risk of Type IV allergies, because it is free of accelerators. It prevents Type I allergies, because it’s free of latex proteins. As a powder-free glove, the Gammex PF DermaPrene® also limits the potential risk of dermatitis for the wearer, and of granulomas or adhesions for the patient. The Gammex PF DermaPrene® glove is now produced on a new former with a curved fit that provides higher comfort to the wearer, which is especially valuable during lengthy procedures.

Encore gloves are made on a special curved former and provide an alternative shape to the core range of Ansell surgical gloves. The Encore Orthopaedic glove provides the strength needed for the full range of orthopaedic procedures. The glove’s tear and puncture resistance and tensile strength help to withstand the rigors of high-risk, trauma and reconstructive procedures.

Top-of-the-range surgical glove for all types of orthopaedic surgery
