Advantages of powder-free gloves over powdered gloves

Powder-free gloves have a reduced content of proteins (of natural rubber latex) and post-production residues of chemical substances compared to powdered gloves.

The fact that there is no powder which is an allergy carrier/vector minimises the risk of allergic reaction such as:

• Irritant contact dermatitis
• Mucous membrane irritation
• Latex asthma
• Anaphylactic shock

No contamination of the operating theatre with powder

.

No contamination of equipment and electronic devices in the operating theatre

No interference with laboratory test results

No contamination of medications

Minimisation of the risk of postoperative complications, such as:

• Delayed wound healing
• Adhesions and granulomas
• Peritonitis
• Tubal obliteration, hydroceles
• Urethritis, bladder oedema, renal failure – blockage of vessels
• Cardiological disorders
• Implant or transplant infections.
