Available in both latex and non-latex options.
Overview
Glove perforations can have serious consequences in today’s healthcare environment. In fact, medical professionals carry a higher burden of significant occupational exposures to blood-borne viruses (41%). This increased by 78% from 2002-2005.1 The American College of Surgeons states, “Double gloving does help to cut down by a factor of 10, the number of potential exposures”. With 92% of all punctures going unnoticed by surgeons, the Biogel double gloving Puncture Indication System has a 97% accuracy rate in identifying punctures.2
The Biogel double gloving Puncture Indication Systems are available in both latex and non-latex. Not all gloves are alike, only Biogel provides the clearest puncture indication, so why trust anyone else.3
How Biogel Indicator systems work:
- Two gloves are worn: a Biogel Indicator underglove (green latex, blue non-latex) and a Biogel overglove.
- If the outer glove is punctured and fluid penetrates between the two gloves, a dark patch alerts the wearer to the puncture.
Don’t let glove perforations go undetected. Let the Biogel double gloving Patented Puncture Indication System alert you with visible evidence of a perforation, in the presence of fluid, as it happens. Don’t just think you’re protected. Know it!
Spot the risk.
