Definition
Polychloroprene surgical glove, non-powdered
A sterile device made of polychloroprene (neoprene) intended as a protective barrier when worn on the hands of healthcare providers at the surgical site; its inner surface is not covered with powder and it does not include antimicrobial agents/materials. It is used mainly as a two-way barrier to protect patient and staff from microorganisms and risk of allergy to latex. It will have appropriate characteristics regarding tactility and comfort of use, and should provide adequate conditions of sterility, appropriate physical properties (e.g., tensile strength, resistance to puncture, elasticity), and uniformity of dimensions (i.e., sizing consistency). This is a single-use device.
