Precision in Orthopedic and Trauma Surgeries
In the world of healthcare, particularly in orthopedic, trauma, and cardiac surgeries, the right surgical glove is more than just a protective layer—it is an essential tool that helps ensure the safety and success of complex procedures. When performing high-risk surgeries, healthcare professionals require a glove that combines durability, dexterity, and comfort. ENCORE® Latex Ortho gloves by Ansell are designed to meet these exacting standards, offering surgeons and medical staff a reliable choice for surgeries where protection and precision are critical.
These gloves are specifically engineered to withstand the demanding conditions of orthopedic and trauma surgeries, offering superior protection, enhanced grip, and improved comfort. With features that ensure durability and precision, ENCORE® Latex Ortho gloves are the go-to choice for medical professionals performing high-risk operations.
Durability and Protection
ENCORE® Latex Ortho gloves are 50% thicker than standard latex surgical gloves. This additional thickness provides superior protection against punctures, tears, and abrasions—common hazards in orthopedic and trauma surgeries. This added durability is particularly important when handling bone fragments, power tools, or other sharp instruments that may be encountered during these types of procedures.
Heavy-Textured Finish for a Secure Grip
The heavy-textured finish on ENCORE® Latex Ortho gloves ensures optimal grip in both dry and wet conditions. Whether surgeons are handling surgical instruments, power tools, or bone fragments, the gloves offer enhanced grip, improving control and confidence during delicate operations. The textured surface minimizes the chance of slippage, which is particularly important during high-pressure, high-precision surgeries.
DERMASHIELD™ Technology for Easy Donning
One of the challenges during surgery is donning gloves quickly and efficiently without compromising sterility. ENCORE® Latex Ortho gloves incorporate DERMASHIELD™ polymer coating, which makes them easy to put on, even when hands are damp or moist. This polymer lining reduces friction, enabling smooth and efficient donning, which is crucial during fast-paced, high-stakes procedures. The gloves can be quickly changed without wasting precious time, ensuring that surgeons and their teams are always ready for the next task.
Chemo-Tested for Enhanced Versatility
Another critical feature of ENCORE® Latex Ortho gloves is that they have been chemo-tested according to ASTM D6978 standards for safe use with chemotherapy drugs. This makes them suitable for a wide range of medical applications, not just orthopedic and trauma surgeries. They offer versatility and can be used in oncology settings as well as in general surgery, ensuring that healthcare professionals have a reliable option for various procedures.
Powder-Free Design
ENCORE® Latex Ortho gloves are powder-free, reducing the risk of contamination in the operating room. Powder-free gloves are essential in maintaining a sterile environment and preventing the introduction of unwanted particles into the surgical site. The lack of powder also enhances comfort for the wearer, preventing irritation that can occur with powdered gloves.
Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility
Ansell, the manufacturer of ENCORE® Latex Ortho gloves, is committed to sustainable practices throughout the production process. The company’s focus on environmental responsibility extends to both the manufacturing of the gloves and their packaging.
Recyclable Packaging
ENCORE® Latex Ortho gloves come in recyclable packaging made from materials with a minimum of 70% recycled content. This commitment to sustainable packaging helps reduce waste and minimize the environmental impact of glove production.
Optimized Packaging Design
Ansell has redesigned the packaging to reduce material usage by 51% compared to previous packaging designs, further contributing to waste reduction. The company also optimizes shipper case sizes, making the shipping process more efficient and reducing the carbon footprint of transportation.
Energy-Efficient Manufacturing
ENCORE® Latex Ortho gloves are produced in a facility powered by renewable energy, ensuring that the gloves are manufactured with minimal environmental impact.
Choice for Healthcare Professionals
ENCORE® Latex Ortho gloves stand out as the go-to choice for healthcare professionals in orthopedic, trauma, and cardiac surgeries. Their extra-thick latex construction, heavy-textured finish, and DERMASHIELD™ technology offer unmatched protection, comfort, and ease of use during complex surgeries. With their chemo-tested durability, powder-free design, and versatility, these gloves ensure that healthcare professionals can focus on providing the best care without worrying about their gloves failing.
