Do you or any of your colleagues suffer from chemical related allergic reactions from wearing surgical gloves?
If you do, help is at hand from Mölnlycke Health Care. Mölnlycke has just launched a new accelerator free, synthetic surgical glove called Biogel® NeoDermTM, made from powder-free, synthetic polychloroprene with a Biogel coating. Biogel NeoDerm could literally be career saving for healthcare professionals who suffer from chemical related allergic reactions.
So how can you be confident Biogel NeoDerm gloves won’t cause an allergic reaction? A clinical study on 25 pre-diagnosed Type IV allergy participants found no reactions when using Biogel Neoderm1. The gloves are safe for people susceptible to Type IV allergic contact dermatitis reactions to chemical additives and are manufactured without using any of the following chemicals, commonly known as accelerators, which can cause skin reactions:
- Thiurams
- Mercaptobenzothiazole
- Diphenylthiourea
- Diphenyl Guanidine
- Dithiocarbamates
Biogel NeoDerm gloves feature a beaded cuff for extra security, a curved finger design and a smooth surface. They are available in a range of sizes from 5½ to 9.
